A new study has found that the weight loss medication tirzepatide significantly lowered blood pressure in adults who had obesity and took the medication for 36 weeks. Participants taking 5 mg of tirzepatide had an average systolic blood pressure reduction of 7.4 mm Hg; participants taking 10 mg had an average systolic blood pressure reduction of 8.0 mm Hg; and participants taking 15 mg had an average systolic blood pressure reduction of 9.6 mm Hg.
