Eli Lilly's brand-name tirzepatide — an FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 injection, the same molecule as Zepbound under a different brand. Supplied only when a physician determines it is appropriate. Nothing is prescribed unless a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you.
Mounjaro is a manufactured, FDA-reviewed tirzepatide injection — a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist, the same molecule sold as Zepbound under a different brand and label. Because it is a brand-name product rather than compounded, it is made to one approved formulation.
A weekly injection, supplied through the affiliated medical network at a physician's discretion. Which product is appropriate, if any, follows from your evaluation.
Mention thyroid cancer or MEN 2 in your family, pancreatitis, gallbladder or kidney disease, and any other diabetes medicines you take. Ask what to expect in the first few weeks and when to call.

Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist taken as a once-weekly injection. It is FDA-approved to improve blood-sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, alongside diet and exercise. Acting on two of the body's metabolic hormone pathways rather than one, it helps regulate blood sugar and appetite.
Mounjaro and Zepbound contain the same molecule — tirzepatide — but they are separate medications with different FDA-approved uses. Which of them, if either, is appropriate for you is a decision only a licensed physician can make after reviewing your health history.
You complete a private online evaluation, and a state-licensed physician in the affiliated medical network reviews your health history. Mounjaro is prescription-only: it is prescribed only if that physician determines it is appropriate for you, and you are charged for medication only after a prescription is issued. If prescribed, it ships from a U.S. state-licensed pharmacy.

For your consultation
Saving a treatment asks your physician to consider it during your review. It is not an order, a purchase, or a guarantee of prescription — your physician reviews your history and decides what, if anything, is appropriate. Not everyone will qualify.
