What is Zepbound?
Zepbound is a name-brand injectable weight loss medication with the active ingredient tirzepatide. It’s made by Eli Lilly. And was U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for weight loss in November 2023.
It’s become a popular weight loss injection medication alongside Wegovy (semaglutide)and that’s also FDA-approved for weight loss.
What sets Zepbound apart from Wegovy is how it works for weight loss and how much weight people who take it lose.
How does Zepbound work for weight loss?
When you use Zepbound in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, you get improved blood sugar control, increased fullness, and decreased appetite, so you eat less and lose weight.
That’s possible because Zepbound’s active ingredient, tirzepatide, is a glucagon-like peptide-1/gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GLP-1/GIP) dual agonist. GLP-1 and GIP are natural hormones that inhibit glucagon secretion and prompt insulin secretion. GLP-1/GIP dual agonists mimic the hormones and bind to GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which makes you want to eat less.
In clinical trials, people lost up to 20.9% of their body weight in 72 weeks while taking Zepbound.

How to get a Zepbound prescription online
Finding Zepbound starts with having a prescription. A trained, licensed healthcare provider can prescribe Zepbound or another weight loss medication if they determine one is medically necessary for you.
Providers can be physician assistants (PAs), medical doctors (MDs), or nurse practitioners (NPs).
You can find a board-certified, licensed provider to discuss a medical weight loss program that may include medication, such as Zepbound, on Klarity Health.
Once you have a prescription, you can get Zepbound at any pharmacy — online or local — that has it in stock.
Popular weight loss medications have had supply shortages in the past. So far, Zepbound isn’t one of them. But before you start it, check the FDA drug shortages database for availability.

How to use Zepbound and Zepbound dosages
You take Zepbound as a once-a-week injection. It comes in prefilled single-dose pens. You inject yourself under the skin, usually in your belly, upper thigh, or in the back of your arm.
Zepbound comes in 2.5-, 5.0-, 7.5-, 10.5-, 12.5-, and 15-milligram doses.
When you start taking Zepbound, you take 2.5 milligrams once a week for 4 weeks — the smaller dose helps minimize side effects and gives your body time to adjust. Every 4 weeks, you move to the next higher dose until you reach your maximum dose, which may be 5, 10, or 15 milligrams.
If you don’t tolerate Zepbound well, your provider may have you increase your dose more slowly, such as every 8 weeks. They may also have you step back to a smaller maintenance dose.

Zepbound side effects and warnings
If you have side effects from Zepbound, you’ll most likely experience nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, indigestion, injection site reactions, being tired, allergic reactions, belching, hair loss, and heartburn. But other side effects are possible.
Zepbound can also have serious side effects, adverse reactions, and drug interactions. It also has an FDA-boxed warning for the possibility of medullary thyroid carcinoma (or MTC, a type of thyroid cancer) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN2). And some people shouldn’t take it or only take it with caution.

What does Zepbound cost?
Zepbound can be pricey. The average retail price — the price the pharmacy charges you — is $1,126 for a one-month supply for all doses according to drugs.com.
The good news is, if you have insurance that covers Zepbound, you could pay as little as $25 for a 1-, 2- or 3-month supply through the Zepbound Savings Card program. Even if your insurance doesn’t cover it, you could pay just $550 for a one-month supply — almost 50% off. Some restrictions apply.
You can use a prescription or drug discount card from SingleCareRx, drugs.com, GoodRx, WellRx, and others to save too.

How does Zepbound compare to other weight loss medications?
Zepbound is the newest prescription weight loss medication to hit the market. It’s the only GLP-1/GIP dual agonist weight loss medication. Another newer entrant is Wegovy (semaglutide) which is a GLP-1 receptor agonist.
Compared to Wegovy, Saxenda (liraglutide), Qsymia (phentermine-topiramate), Contrave (bupropion-naltrexone), Adipex-P (phentermine), and Xenical (Orlistat), in separate clinical trials, people lost more weight on Zepbound than other medications. It costs roughly $400 less a month than Wegovy and Saxenda.
Even so, only you and your healthcare provider can decide which weight loss plan and medication, if applicable, is right for you and your health status and needs.
Saxenda, Contrave, Qsymia, Adipex-P, Xenical, and Wegovy are all FDA-approved for weight loss or weight management in people with obesity and overweight when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. All have side effects that may include, but aren’t limited to, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and headaches. Phentermine is a controlled substance and can increase heart rate or blood pressure and cause dependency and misuse.
