An FDA-approved brand medication, available only when a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you. Nothing is prescribed unless a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you.
Eli Lilly's brand-name tirzepatide — a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it acts on two gut-hormone pathways rather than one. FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults who meet the criteria in its labelling.
Prescribed only after a physician evaluates you individually, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity as the labelling describes.
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 and what follow-up they expect.
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.
