What is Zepbound?

Zepbound is a brand name for tirzepatide, a medication that acts on two gut hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1) and is indicated for chronic weight management in adults who meet certain clinical criteria. It works by helping to regulate appetite, supporting weight loss alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It is administered as a once-weekly injection and is available by prescription only, under the supervision of a licensed physician.

How does Zepbound work?

Zepbound contains tirzepatide, which acts on two gut-hormone receptors — GIP and GLP-1. By mimicking these hormones it helps regulate appetite, supporting weight loss alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It is administered as a once-weekly injection. A physician determines whether it is clinically appropriate for you.

Who may qualify?
