Q: Are Ozempic and Zepbound the same?
A: Zepbound is the weight loss version of tirzepatide, and Ozempic is the diabetes version of semaglutide. Some confusion exists about Ozempic’s purpose because it gained popularity when celebrities started using it “off-label” for weight loss rather than diabetes treatment. However, we’ll answer the question as asked.

Q: Are Zepbound and Mounjaro the same
A: Mounjaro and Zepbound are brand names for the same drug, tirzepatide. While Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes, Zepbound is approved for weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or more. It’s also approved if you’re overweight and have another health condition including: High blood pressure.

Q: Can you drink Alcohol while taking Zepbound?
A: While Zepbound (tirzepatide) doesn’t have any known direct interactions with alcohol, it’s generally not recommended to drink while taking it. Alcohol can worsen some of Zepbound’s side effects, like nausea, and may also interfere with weight loss efforts. If you choose to drink, it’s best to do so in moderation and after consulting with your doctor.
