What is Zepbound?
Zepbound contains the same active ingredient, tirzepatide, as Mounjaro®. It’s a dual-action medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. The FDA has approved it for use in individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 and above if accompanied by a weight-related condition. For best results, it should be combined with dietary and exercise modifications.
How is Zepbound different from Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
Zepbound and Wegovy are FDA-approved specifically for weight loss, whereas Ozempic is approved for managing type 2 diabetes but can be prescribed off-label for weight management if deemed appropriate. The primary distinction between these medications lies in their active ingredients: both Ozempic and Wegovy use semaglutide, while Zepbound contains tirzepatide. Unlike semaglutide, which targets only the GLP-1 receptor, tirzepatide has a dual-action effect by activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. This dual mechanism can enhance metabolism, reduce appetite, and prolong feelings of fullness more effectively.
What kind of weight loss results can I expect with Zepbound?
Clinical trials have shown that individuals using Zepbound, along with lifestyle changes, can achieve significant weight loss—up to 20% of their body weight. Results may vary, but with consistent use over several months, many participants have experienced substantial reductions in body weight.
How is Zepbound administered?
Zepbound is administered once a week through a pre-filled injection. Your healthcare provider will guide you on how to properly use the injection pen. The weekly dosage makes it a convenient option for long-term weight management.
What are the potential side effects of Zepbound?
Common side effects may include mild nausea, diarrhea, or constipation, particularly in the early weeks as your body adjusts. These symptoms are usually temporary.
Can Zepbound be used if I have type 2 diabetes?
Yes, Zepbound may be suitable for people with type 2 diabetes, as it helps regulate blood sugar levels while promoting weight loss.
Is Zepbound covered by insurance?
Insurance coverage for Zepbound may vary depending on your plan. It’s best to check with your insurance provider to confirm whether the medication is covered under your benefits, especially if prescribed for weight loss.
