Is Zepbound the same as Ozempic?

No, Zepbound isn't the same as Ozempic. One of the main differences between Zepbound and Ozempic is how they work. Zepbound works by mimicking two gut hormones: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Ozempic only mimics GLP-1. Zepbound and Ozempic are also approved for different uses. Zepbound is approved for weight loss and obstructive sleep apnea. Ozempic is approved for Type 2 diabetes and to help lower the risk of serious cardiovascular problems in certain people.
