Zepbound Pen

Zepbound® contains tirzepatide, which was approved for weight loss in November 2023. It is currently available in auto-injection pens and single-use vials. Single-use vials are available through LillyDirect for cash-pay buyers (home delivery or local Walmart Pharmacy pickup). This injectable medication is well-known for working on two important receptors: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent Tirzepatide mimics the effects of GLP-1, a long-acting version of a natural hormone that helps people feel full when they eat. It helps reduce portion sizes and feelings of hunger between meals. It also helps control and slow gastric emptying and blood sugars.

Weight loss medications like Zepbound® require purposeful lifestyle changes, including low-calorie nutritious meal plans, regular exercise, and muscle building. Using weight management medications without integrating these changes may only provide temporary effects, rather than long-term results.

Benefits of Zepbound® include:

• Revolutionary dual mechanism: Zepbound® combines appetite regulation and metabolic enhancement, setting it apart from traditional weight loss approaches.

• Effective weight loss results: Potential to experience noticeable changes in your weight within weeks, making Zepbound® an effective solution for those seeking quick results.

• Clinically proven: scientific research and thorough studies show that tirzepatide can help people lose up to 20.9% of their total body weight, but results can differ from person to person.*

• FDA approved to treat moderate to severe sleep apnea in combination with a comprehensive weight loss program.

Committed to tailored weight management solutions, we recognize Zepbound® as an excellent choice for many. However, we want to suggest alternative options for individuals seeking the most suitable treatment. Depending on availability and insurance coverage, our physicians may recommend or prescribe other GLP-1 options:

• Wegovy® (semaglutide): Administered through a convenient weekly injection, Wegovy® stands as a leading weight management medication designed to complement a balanced lifestyle.

Other weight loss medications our doctors may prescribe include:

• Xenical® (orlistat): This medication prevents the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats.
• Contrave® (naltrexone/bupropion): This convenient once-daily tablet aids in weight loss by promoting satiety.
