How does Zepbound work?
Zepbound mimics two naturally occurring hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) in your body to help you regulate your metabolism. This slows digestion and makes you feel full faster and longer. It also communicates with the part of your brain in charge of hunger to help you regulate how much you eat. On average, patients lost 20% of their body weight in a year using the highest dose of Zepbound when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
What is Zepbound’s dosing?
If prescribed, you’ll start on the lowest dose (2.5 mg) for the first four weeks, and then work with your provider to slowly increase your dose every four weeks until you reach a steady dose that works best for you.
How do you take Zepbound?
Zepbound is a once-weekly injection that comes in a pre-filled, single-dose pen. If prescribed, you’ll receive detailed instructions from your provider on how to inject it in your stomach, arm, or thigh.
How much weight can I expect to lose with Zepbound?
In clinical trials, patients lost an average of 20% of their body weight in a year when they combined the highest dose of Zepbound with healthy lifestyle changes.
Who can use Zepbound? Who shouldn’t use it?
Zepbound is approved for weight loss in adults who either have a BMI of at least 30 or a BMI of at least 27 with a weight-related condition, like high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or cardiovascular disease.
How are side effects for Zepbound different from Ozempic or Wegovy?
The side effects of Zepbound are similar to Ozempic and Wegovy. However, birth control pills have been shown to be less effective when taking Zepbound. If you’re considering treatment with Zepbound, tell your provider about what contraception you’re taking
