The molecule in Mounjaro and Zepbound. It acts on two gut-hormone pathways, GIP and GLP-1.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection sold by Eli Lilly as Mounjaro (for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (for chronic weight management). It is the first approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates two gut-hormone pathways rather than one, which is associated with greater average weight loss than single GLP-1 agonists.[2][3]

Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in two Eli Lilly brands: Mounjaro and Zepbound. No generic tirzepatide is FDA-approved in the US. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes; Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management. They share an active ingredient but carry different approved indications, and insurers treat them as separate products.[1]
In the SURPASS-2 head-to-head diabetes trial, tirzepatide produced greater HbA1c reductions and greater weight loss than semaglutide 1 mg across all doses. Tirzepatide also showed higher average weight loss in its obesity trials (up to ~20.9%), though the two have not been compared head-to-head for weight loss at their maximum weight-management doses.[3]
Yes. Tirzepatide is a prescription-only medicine. The Mounjaro and Zepbound labels both say Rx only. A licensed prescriber (MD, DO, NP, or PA) must evaluate you before issuing a prescription.[1]
In most states, yes. Telehealth prescribing is permitted once a practitioner-patient relationship is established, typically via a synchronous video visit, by a provider licensed in your state.[1]
Glucose effects appear within the first weeks. Weight effects accrue over several months as the dose is escalated from 2.5 mg toward maintenance; trials measured peak effects at 72 weeks.[2]
