What is Zepbound?

 

Much like Mounjaro, Zepbound is an FDA-approved injectable weight-loss medication. It’s meant for those with obesity or excess weight who’ve struggled to see results with traditional methods like diet and exercise. Its active ingredient, ‘tirzepatide’, works by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism.

Unlike oral medications, it’s administered through a ready-to-use injection pen, offering convenient and consistent Zepbound doses. 

Benefits of Zepbound for Weight Loss

 

  • Significant Weight Reduction: Clinical trials show Zepbound can help patients lose up to 18-26% of their body weight, depending on the dose and individual factors.
  • Improved Metabolic Health: Supports better blood sugar control and lipid metabolism, reducing risks associated with obesity, like type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
  • Sustained Fullness: Slows stomach emptying to help you feel full longer, which can reduce overall calorie intake.
  • FDA-Approved: Backed by rigorous studies to ensure safety and efficacy for weight management.

How Does Zepbound Work?

 

As an injectable medication, Zepbound comes in three doses: 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, which our doctor will adjust based on your needs.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Zepbound activates two natural hormones in your body, called Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Cells in the intestine secrete these hormones, which help control your appetite, blood sugar, and how your body uses fat.
  2. The medication thus supports better insulin production. In turn, it helps manage blood sugar levels and improve your body’s metabolism.
  3. Finally, Zepbound slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, making you feel full for a longer time and reducing how much you eat.

These effects work together to help you lose weight safely and effectively.
