Zepbound®
Zepbound® is a prescription medicine that contains tirzepatide. It’s used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, or with overweight and at least one weight-related medical condition, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Get startedActive ingredients
Zepbound® contains tirzepatide, a prescription medicine that activates two hormone pathways: GIP and GLP-1. By engaging these receptors, tirzepatide helps regulate appetite and metabolism. Many people experience reduced hunger, improved fullness after meals, and better control over cravings - supporting meaningful, sustained weight reduction when combined with lifestyle changes.
How to take
Zepbound® is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once weekly, on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food.
Common injection sites include:
- Abdomen (stomach area)
- Thigh
- Upper arm
Rotate injection sites each week and avoid injecting into skin that is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Use Zepbound® exactly as prescribed and keep regular follow-ups—your clinician may adjust your dose over time to support tolerability and results.
