Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a prescription GLP-1 and GIP medication used for weight loss and long-term weight management. It is also approved to treat moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults considered to be obese. It helps regulate appetite, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss.

Learn more about Zepbound

Zepbound (tirzepatide) works by mimicking two natural hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which help regulate appetite, blood sugar, and digestion. By slowing how quickly food leaves the stomach and signaling the brain to reduce hunger, Zepbound helps lower calorie intake. Over time, these effects support steady weight loss and can also improve metabolic health.

Learn more about how Zepbound works

During clinical trials, people taking Zepbound (tirzepatide) started noticing weight loss about 4 weeks after starting it. This is how long it takes the medication to reach consistent levels in your body. Zepbound’s clinical trial ran for 72 weeks (about 16.5 months). People continued to lose weight throughout the study, but the greatest results were seen during the first 8 to 9 months of using Zepbound.

Treatment with Zepbound (tirzepatide) starts with a low dose that gradually increases. The highest maintenance doses—10 mg or 15 mg once weekly—have shown the most significant weight loss results in clinical trials. However, the most effective dose varies by individual and depends on tolerability, side effects, and guidance from your healthcare provider.

A 72-week study of adults without diabetes and a BMI of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with a weight-related condition, lost on average 20% with tirzepatide and 14% with semaglutide.

Other frequently asked questions

Zepbound (tirzepatide) comes as a once-weekly, prefilled injection pen. After choosing an injection site (stomach, thigh, or upper arm), you place the pen to the skin, unlock it by turning the lock ring, then press and hold the injection button until the full dose is delivered. Each pen is single-use and should be disposed of safely. Follow the detailed instructions that come with Zepbound pens.

Learn more about how to use Zepbound pens

Zepbound (tirzepatide) pens should be injected subcutaneously (right into the layer of fat under the skin) into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites each week to help prevent irritation or skin reactions. Injections should never be given into a vein or muscle. Follow the detailed instructions that come with Zepbound pens.

Both semaglutide (Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) are effective GLP-1-based medications for weight management. Head-to-head trials show that Zepbound results in greater average weight loss than Wegovy, possibly due to its dual action on GLP-1 and GIP receptors. Results vary by individual, and side effects, cost, and insurance coverage are also important considerations.

Zepbound pens have a needle attached to the device. Because of this, you should dispose of them in a needle disposal container. FDA-cleared sharps containers are ideal to use, but you can also use a heavy-duty plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. An empty laundry detergent bottle is an acceptable sharps container alternative.
