About Zepbound in Iowa

What is Zepbound?

Zepbound is a weekly injection from Eli Lilly that helps you lose weight by reducing appetite and slowing how fast your stomach empties. The FDA approved it in November 2023 for adults whose weight is affecting their health. It uses the same active ingredient as Mounjaro (which is approved for type 2 diabetes), but Zepbound is the version specifically labeled for weight loss. In the main study (called SURMOUNT-1), people on the highest dose lost about 22.5% of their starting body weight over about 17 months. For a 200-pound person, that's roughly 45 pounds.
