(Current Version)

What is Zepbound?

Zepbound is the brand name for tirzepatide subcutaneous injection.

What dosages is Zepbound available in?

Zepbound is available as 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg per 0.5 mL in single-dose pen.

What is Zepbound used for?

Zepbound is a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that is used for long-term weight management (with diet and exercise) in adults with:

  • Body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more
  • Body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m2 or more and have at least one weight-related condition (e.g., high blood pressure, Type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea)

How does Zepbound work?

Zepbound is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. It works by acting like GLP-1 and GIP, two hormones that your gut releases into the body. These hormones are thought to play a role in controlling your appetite (how hungry you feel) and therefore how much food you’re eating. By making you feel more full and less hungry, it can help you lose weight.

How do I take Zepbound?

The typical starting dose of Zepbound is 2.5 mg injected under the skin once a week. After 4 weeks, your provider will raise your dose to 5 mg once a week. The recommended maintenance dose is 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg once a week, depending on how you respond to the medication.

  • NowPatient is worth your time!

    I do not leave reviews, due to time and a rare condition I have. I initially left a message, my call was returned within 2 hours or less. NowPatient offers 4 discount programs. I worked with Jay, he was genuine and wanted to help me all while giving me amazing customer service. Even though I didn't qualify, he gave me some suggestions and tips while encouraging me to follow up with the manufacturer along with other things I could do. This is the real deal, not a scam, and not a waste of your time. Amazing!! Thank you, Jay!

  • Excellent service

    Cannot speak highly enough of the service and assistance I have received from NowPatient. I was dealing with a very kind and helpful clinician who couldn't do enough to assist. He was knowledgeable about the medication being prescribed and the consultation was thorough. There were some hurdles to overcome to receive the medication overseas and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend.

    Very good experience - the clinician asked intelligent questions about my insomnia and taught me a lot at the same time. And the medication was dispatched immediately. I’d definitely use them again.
