Tirzepatide Systemic Clearance and Organ Impairment Dose Adjustments

Tirzepatide has an apparent population mean clearance of 0.061 L/h. [1] Renal or hepatic impairment does not require tirzepatide dose adjustment. [1], [2]

Systemic Clearance

Tirzepatide clearance is reported as an apparent population mean clearance of 0.061 L/h. [1]

Renal Impairment Dose Adjustment Requirements

Renal impairment, including end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is reported to show no change in tirzepatide pharmacokinetics, and no dose adjustment is required. [1], [2]

Hepatic Impairment Dose Adjustment Requirements

Hepatic impairment is reported to show no change in tirzepatide pharmacokinetics, and no dose adjustment is required. [1], [2]

Pharmacokinetic Implication for Clinical Dosing

Because renal and hepatic impairment do not change tirzepatide pharmacokinetics, dosing adjustments based solely on renal function category or hepatic impairment category are not recommended. [1], [2]
