Zepbound®

Zepbound® functions by emulating the actions of two crucial incretin hormones, which play a pivotal role in blood sugar regulation: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). What sets Zepbound apart is its unique ability to simultaneously target two receptors in the body, resulting in a dual benefit. This innovative medication promotes a quicker sense of fullness by delaying gastric emptying and suppressing glucagon production.

Zepbound is a prescription drug designed to support weight loss and assist in the management of type 2 diabetes. This convenient treatment involves a simple once-weekly injection that effectively regulates blood sugar levels and curbs your appetite, offering an effective solution for individuals seeking better control over their health.

Let's talk how this Zepbound® works for your weight loss.

How does Zepbound work for weight loss?

Zepbound operates through a similar mechanism as Mounjaro, targeting two key incretin hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, to effectively regulate blood sugar and curb appetite. This dual-agonist action significantly enhances Zepbound’s efficacy in facilitating weight loss.
Zepbound, like Mounjaro, extends the feeling of fullness by delaying gastric emptying, thereby reducing overall calorie intake. This sustained sense of satiety empowers individuals to better manage their food consumption, facilitating progress toward their weight loss objectives.
Additionally, Zepbound shares the ability to suppress the production of glucagon, a hormone responsible for elevating blood sugar levels. By curbing glucagon production, Zepbound encourages the breakdown of stored fat for energy, offering another avenue for promoting weight loss alongside its appetite-controlling effects.

Form and dosing for Zepbound

Zepbound, much like Mounjaro, is available in a convenient injection form designed for ease of use. The treatment typically commences at a conservative dosage of 2.5 mg once weekly. However, the dosage can be tailored to accommodate your specific requirements and individual response to the medication. Our dedicated Indianapolis weight loss team will collaborate closely with you to determine and personalize the optimal dosage that aligns with your unique needs and goals.

Common side effects of Zepbound

Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting, and abdominal pain can all be uncomfortable side effects of some GLP-1s. These symptoms can range from mild to severe and can impact your daily life. If you’re experiencing any of these side effects, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider. They can help you find ways to manage your symptoms and make sure you’re getting the best possible care.
