What is Zepbound?
Zepbound (tirzepatide) is an FDA-approved, once-weekly injection for long-term weight management, used together with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Who is Zepbound for?
Adults with obesity (BMI 30 or higher), or adults with overweight (BMI 27 or higher) who have at least one weight-related health condition. A licensed provider reviews your health history to decide if it is right for you.
How do I use Zepbound?
Inject one dose under the skin of your stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week, on the same day each week. You can take it at any time of day, with or without meals.
How does my dose change over time?
Treatment starts at 2.5 mg once weekly. After 4 weeks the dose goes up to 5 mg. Your provider may then increase it by 2.5 mg at least 4 weeks apart, up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly.
What if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours) after the missed dose. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on your regular day.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
In a 72-week clinical trial, adults without diabetes taking the 15 mg dose lost an average of 20.9% of their body weight, compared with 3.1% on placebo. Results vary from person to person.
Is Zepbound the same as Mounjaro?
Both contain tirzepatide and are made by Eli Lilly. Zepbound is FDA-approved for weight management; Mounjaro is FDA-approved for adults with type 2 diabetes.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, indigestion, injection site reactions, tiredness, allergic reactions, burping, hair loss and heartburn. Let your provider know if side effects are severe or do not go away.
Who should not use Zepbound?
Do not use Zepbound if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you have had a serious allergic reaction to tirzepatide.
Does Zepbound affect birth control pills?
Yes, it can. If you use birth control pills, switch to a non-oral method or add a backup method, such as condoms, for 4 weeks after starting Zepbound and for 4 weeks after each dose increase.

Can I transfer from another weight loss provider?
