Zepbound and Mounjaro are both tirzepatide, made by Eli Lilly, but they carry different FDA-approved indications. Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management; Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes. Insurers treat them as separate products, and weight-loss coverage is far more restricted than diabetes coverage.[1]
