Zepbound
In the competitive landscape of weight loss medications, Zepbound will primarily compete with Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, which is a similar weight loss medication. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved tirzepatide for treating obesity, and it is sold under the brand name Mounjaro when used as a diabetes medication, manufactured by Eli Lilly and Co.
Regarding cost, Zepbound is priced 20% less than its main competitor Wegovy for those with insurance coverage, though the cost remains high at over £500 for a month's supply. Eli Lilly has announced a discount program for those whose insurance does not cover anti-obesity treatments, offering a 50% discount to these patients.

Description of Zepbound
What is Zepbound?
Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a prescription medication in injectable form, used primarily for chronic weight management in adults. It targets individuals who are obese or overweight with associated medical conditions, assisting in weight loss and maintenance.
Zepbound operates through GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonism, and its effectiveness is enhanced when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity. Administered once weekly, Zepbound is suitable for patients with a certain body mass index threshold, helping to improve their health by managing their weight.
How does it work?
Zepbound works by targeting weight loss through two primary actions: it decreases appetite and slows down the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine.
Zepbound helps individuals feel full more quickly and for an extended period of time. It mimics the effects of two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which are naturally produced by the intestines; these hormones are crucial for promoting a sense of satiety and enhancing insulin sensitivity.
Is Zepbound right for me?
If you suffer from obesity or obesity-related issues Zepbound may be an effective alternative treatment for you. However, it is not suitable if you have the following:
- If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy
- if you are allergic to any ingredients in the medication
- if thyroid cancer runs in your family, or you have a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)
- if you have an endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
