Eli Lilly's brand-name tirzepatide — an FDA-approved dual GIP/GLP-1 injection for chronic weight management, the same molecule as Mounjaro. Supplied only when a physician finds it appropriate. Nothing is prescribed unless a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you.
Zepbound is brand-name tirzepatide — a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist that acts on two gut-hormone pathways rather than one. It is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet the labelling criteria, used with a reduced-calorie diet and more activity.
A weekly injection, prescribed only after a physician evaluates you individually.
Tell your physician about thyroid cancer or MEN 2 in your family, pancreatitis, gallbladder or kidney disease, and any pregnancy plans. Ask how the routine is adjusted over time.
Educational information only. It is not medical advice and does not describe results you should expect. A licensed physician decides what, if anything, is appropriate for you.
Zepbound is the brand name for tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist — it acts on two of the body's appetite- and metabolism-regulating hormone pathways rather than one. It is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, or with overweight plus at least one weight-related condition, as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, and is taken as a once-weekly injection by pre-filled pen.
In SURMOUNT-1, the pivotal 72-week trial, adults taking the highest studied dose of tirzepatide alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity saw an average total body-weight reduction of 20.9% — the largest figure reported in a pivotal trial of any medication carried here. It is a trial average, not a prediction of your result. Individual results vary, not everyone qualifies, and no outcome is guaranteed.
You complete a private online evaluation, and a state-licensed physician in the affiliated medical network reviews your health history. Zepbound 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.
Educational information only — not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription, and no outcomes or weight-loss guarantees are made or implied. Every medical decision is made by a licensed physician based on your individual history. Medications carry risks and side effects — see the important safety information on this page. Not everyone qualifies.
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.
