What exactly does Zepbound do?

Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). It reduces appetite, improves insulin sensitivity, and slows digestion, helping users lose up to 21% of their body weight when combined with diet and exercise.

Does Zepbound need to be refrigerated?

Yes. Zepbound pens should be stored in a refrigerator between 36°F–46°F (2°C–8°C). Once opened, they can stay at room temperature for up to 21 days but should not be exposed to heat or sunlight.

Who should not take Zepbound?

People with a history of medullary thyroid cancer, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or those allergic to tirzepatide should not take Zepbound. Always consult your healthcare provider.

How much weight will I lose on Zepbound?

Clinical trials show users can lose an average of 15%–21% of their body weight, depending on dosage and lifestyle factors. Individual results vary.

Does Zepbound cause insomnia?

Insomnia is not common but may occur. Limiting caffeine, eating earlier in the evening, and using sleep-supporting foods like magnesium-rich seeds or melatonin-rich fruits can help manage symptoms naturally.
