What is Zepbound?
Zepbound is an injectable prescription medicine that may help adults with obesity, or some adults with overweight who also have weight-related medical problems, to lose excess body weight and keep the weight off. Zepbound should be used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
- Zepbound contains tirzepatide and should not be used with other tirzepatide – containing products or any GLP-1 receptor agonist medicines.
- It is not known if Zepbound is safe and effective for use in children.
How Does Zepbound Reduce Weight?
Tirzepatide works by activating two proteins called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide- 1 (GLP-1) which belong to a group of hormones called incretins. Incretins are naturally produced by the intestine (gut) as soon as food enters your body and stimulate the production of insulin, a hormone that helps digest sugar.
GLP-1 also helps control your appetite by working in your brain and slows down the movement of food through your stomach. This makes you feel full faster and stay full longer after eating. As a result, you may eat less and lose weight.
