What Is Zepbound®?
Zepbound® is the brand name for tirzepatide, which is administered by injection once a week. It was previously approved to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes and then approved in November 2023 to help individuals with weight management.

FAQs About Zepbound®
How does Zepbound work for weight loss?
Zepbound® works by copying both GLP-1 and GIP, which are two naturally produced hormones in your body. These hormones help to control your appetite and keep you feeling full longer, slowing down how fast your stomach digests food and optimizing how efficiently your metabolism processes the calories you consume.
Zepbound® is meant to be used along with healthy lifestyle habits, like eating a nutritious, low-calorie diet and getting enough exercise.
Who is a good candidate for Zepbound®?
Zepbound® is meant to be used for chronic weight management in adults who have a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or more, or those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have health conditions related to their weight, like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. It should only be used under the care and guidance of a qualified doctor like those at Reveal Weight Loss in New Jersey.
Who may not be a good candidate for Zepbound®?
Using Zepbound® weight loss injections might not be a good choice for those:
- Using any other type of GLP-1 prescription medication.
- Who have personal experience or a family history of kidney, liver, or pancreas issues, MEN2 disorder, or a rare form of thyroid cancer.
- Who are allergic to any ingredients included in the Zepbound® injections.
- Who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant in the near future.
How do I use Zepbound® for weight loss?
Zepbound® (tirzepatide) injections come in a prefilled injector pen for easy, once-a-week self-administration. You start with the lowest dose and gradually work up to higher strengths until you begin to lose weight. Some patients need to reach the full dose (over about five months), while others may lose weight on lower doses.
Injections are administered subcutaneously (under the skin) once a week. For best results, take them consistently on the same day and time each week.
What is the weight loss potential of Zepbound®?
When combined with a healthy lifestyle, people using Zepbound® once a week can lose significant weight. Clinical trials showed average weight loss of:
- 10%-12% after twelve weeks
- 15%-18% by twenty weeks
- 18%-22% after one year
- Zepbound® users lost an average of 20.2% of their body weight (about 50.5 lbs for someone starting at 250 lbs), 16 lbs more than the Wegovy® group.
- Wegovy® users lost about 13.7%, or ~34 lbs at the same starting weight.
What are the risks & side effects of Zepbound®?
Zepbound® is generally safe and effective for most people. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts. Serious side effects were rare in clinical trials.
What areas on my body are best for injections?
Inject into naturally fatty areas like the thigh, abdomen, or back of the upper arm. Rotate sites weekly to avoid irritation or tenderness.
Do Zepbound® injections hurt?
Most patients feel only a small pinch. Some report a mild sting during injection, but it fades quickly.
What are the available doses of Zepbound®?
Patients start with 2.5 mg once a week and may progress through 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and finally 15 mg. This gradual increase helps reduce side effects like nausea.
Is Zepbound® covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans do not yet cover Zepbound® for obesity treatment. Check your individual plan, as coverage may change over time with increasing results and demand.
