About Zepbound (tirzepatide)

Zepbound is a once-weekly injectable medication specifically designed for adults with obesity or those with excess weight who face health challenges related to their weight.

Unlike traditional weight loss approaches, Zepbound works at a hormonal level, activating receptors that reduce hunger and decrease the amount of food consumed, supporting sustainable weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

How it works

Zepbound contains tirzepatide, a medication that uniquely activates two types of hormone receptors—GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).

Together, these hormones play a crucial role in appetite regulation and glucose metabolism, helping reduce food intake and improve insulin sensitivity.

This dual action allows Zepbound to address key underlying factors that contribute to excess weight, creating a holistic effect on hunger and food intake that helps patients achieve significant weight loss.

Effectiveness

Clinical studies have shown that Zepbound can lead to substantial weight loss when used as directed. In a 72-week study, participants taking the 15 mg dose of Zepbound experienced an average weight loss of approximately 20.9% of their body weight, equating to around 48 pounds in some cases.

This result highlights Zepbound’s potential to deliver 4-6 times the weight loss seen with diet and exercise alone, making it a powerful option for individuals seeking significant changes in their weight and health.

Risks and side effects

Many individuals experience mild to moderate side effects when starting Zepbound, which often diminish over time as the body adjusts to the medication. These include:

• Gastrointestinal issues: nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, or indigestion.
• Injection site reactions: redness, itching, or swelling at the injection site.
• Fatigue: a general sense of tiredness or low energy.
• Dizziness: feelings of lightheadedness or unsteadiness.
• Hair loss: some users have reported hair thinning or loss.

These side effects are generally manageable and may subside as treatment continues. If they persist or become bothersome, consult your healthcare provider.

Serious side effects

While less common, Zepbound can cause serious side effects that require immediate medical attention:

• Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, presenting as severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If you experience these symptoms, discontinue use and seek medical help promptly.
• Gallbladder problems: Conditions such as gallstones or cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) may occur. Symptoms include upper abdominal pain, fever, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes). Contact your healthcare provider if these symptoms arise.
• Kidney damage: Zepbound may lead to kidney issues, especially in those with pre-existing kidney conditions. Signs include changes in urine output, swelling in the legs or ankles, and fatigue. Regular monitoring of kidney function is advised during treatment.
• Severe allergic reactions: Reactions may include rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficulty breathing. Seek emergency medical attention if these occur.
• Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): Especially when used with other diabetes medications, symptoms include shakiness, sweating, confusion, and rapid heartbeat. Monitoring blood sugar levels is crucial.

Precautions

• Medical history: Inform your healthcare provider of any history of pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney issues, or thyroid tumors.
• Medication interactions: Discuss all medications and supplements you’re taking to avoid potential interactions.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Zepbound is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Who is Zepbound for?

Zepbound is intended for adults who are medically eligible based on their weight and health status. Ideal candidates include those with a BMI of 30 or higher or those with a BMI of 27 or higher who also have a weight-related health condition, such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes.

It is not recommended for individuals seeking weight loss for cosmetic reasons alone. DrHouse providers will assess your health background to determine if Zepbound is the right choice for your needs.

Zepbound vs. Ozempic and other weight loss medications

A pivotal head-to-head study has shown Zepbound’s superiority in weight loss effectiveness compared to Ozempic and other leading treatments. Conducted over 72 weeks, this trial found that participants using the highest dose of Zepbound (15 mg) experienced an average weight reduction of 20.9% of their body weight, equating to around 48 pounds in some cases. This result highlights a striking contrast to Ozempic, where weight loss percentages were notably lower, typically ranging between 15-17%.

The dual-action mechanism of Zepbound, which uniquely targets GIP and GLP-1 receptors, is credited for its enhanced effectiveness. This comprehensive approach to appetite regulation and glucose metabolism provides a more significant and sustained weight loss impact compared to Ozempic’s single GLP-1 receptor focus.

Choosing the right medication should always involve consultation with a healthcare provider, but these findings strongly endorse Zepbound as a top-tier weight loss solution.
