Zepbound and Mounjaro are both brand names for the same medication, tirzepatide. The key difference lies in their approved uses: Zepbound is specifically approved for chronic weight management in individuals with obesity or overweight with weight-related conditions, while Mounjaro is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Both medications work similarly by mimicking hormones that regulate blood sugar and appetite, leading to weight loss. The dosage and insurance coverage may vary depending on whether it's prescribed as Zepbound for weight loss or Mounjaro for diabetes.
