An injectable medication for adults with type 2 diabetes. Same molecule as Zepbound.
Mounjaro is the brand name Eli Lilly uses for tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. It is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection and the first approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates two gut-hormone pathways rather than one. The identical molecule, marketed as Zepbound, is the FDA-approved formulation for chronic weight management.[2][3]
In the SURPASS-2 head-to-head trial, tirzepatide produced greater HbA1c reductions and greater weight loss than semaglutide 1 mg across all doses. Across the SURPASS program, tirzepatide lowered HbA1c by approximately 1.8 to 2.6 percentage points. Mounjaro is approved as an adjunct to diet and exercise for glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.[1]

What the trials actually showed.
We summarize the SURPASS diabetes program, including the SURPASS-2 head-to-head against semaglutide. Figures are means at each trial's primary endpoint.
Most side effects are gastrointestinal and resolve within weeks.
The most common adverse events in STEP trials were nausea (44%), diarrhea (30%), and vomiting (24%), more frequent at the 2.4 mg dose than at Ozempic doses, but typically transient.[1] Serious events were rare but include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and an FDA boxed warning regarding thyroid C-cell tumors based on rodent data.[8]
Most directories hide the price. We don't.
Cash prices vary roughly 50× between the brand-name retail rate and a manufacturer savings card. The number you actually pay depends on your insurance plan, your diagnosis code, and which pharmacy fills the script. Here are the ranges, plainly.

Mounjaro and Zepbound are both tirzepatide, made by Eli Lilly, but they carry different FDA-approved indications. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes; Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management. Insurers treat them as separate products, and coverage differs sharply between the two.[1]
