A: The 12.5 mg dose provides an enhanced therapeutic effect for patients who haven’t achieved their goals on 10 mg.

Q: Is it safe to use long term?
A: Yes, with proper medical supervision. Regular monitoring is needed for side effects and overall health.

Q: How fast can I expect weight loss at this dose?

Q: How effective is Zepbound for weight loss?
A: Zepbound (tirzepatide) has shown significant effectiveness for weight loss in clinical trials, particularly for individuals with obesity or excess weight. In studies, participants taking Zepbound experienced an average weight loss of around 15-20% of their initial body weight.

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.
