Zepbound 12.5mg Prefilled Pen- 4×0.5ml

Zepbound® contains tirzepatide, which was approved for weight loss in November 2023. It is currently available in auto–injection pens and single use vials. Single use vials are only available from LillyDirect for cash-pay buyers who aren’t using insurance. This injectable medication is renowned for its dual function on glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors. Tirzepatide mimics the effects of GLP-1, a long-acting version of a natural hormone that helps people feel full when they eat. It helps reduce portion sizes and feelings of hunger between meals.. It also helps control, slows gastric emptying and helps control blood sugars.

Weight loss medications like Zepbound® require purposeful lifestyle changes, including low calorie nutritious meal plans, regular exercise, and muscle building. Using weight management medications without integrating these changes may only provide temporary effects, rather than long-term results.

Your doctor will give you instructions on how to take Zepbound^®. Zepbound^® comes in various doses. This medication usually comes in the form of conveniently packaged, single-dose injection pens. Taking Zepbound^® is a straightforward process.³ General instructions may include:

• Take Zepbound^® once weekly in the comfort of your home, with or without food.

• The single-dose pen simplifies the injection process, eliminating the need to handle a needle directly.

• Your doctor can help you choose the optimal injection site, such as the upper arm, lower stomach, or upper thigh. Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab and let the skin dry. Rotate injection sites weekly.

• Remove the safety cap, and place the clear, flat base of the pen against the skin at the chosen site.

• To begin, turn the lock ring to the unlock position, and hold the purple injection button for 10 seconds.

• Dispose of the used pen in a designated sharps container.
