==Zepbound / Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) weight loss == | |||
[[Tirzepatide]], available as [[Zepbound]] and [[Mounjaro]], is a weekly injection that helps control blood sugar levels and was approved for use in treating type 2 diabetes by the FDA in May 2022. Distinguished from drugs such as [[Ozempic]] and [[Wegovy]] both of which have [[Semaglutide]], [[Zepbound]], [[Mounjaro]] with active ingredient of [[Tirzepatide]] is a combination of a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, used for diabetes and weight loss treatment, and a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), a hormone that aids insulin release after eating. | |||

Although it has yet to be approved by the FDA for [[weight loss]], some doctors, including '''W8MD weight loss physicians''', prescribe it for off-label use to help with weight loss in patients without type 2 diabetes. In fact, Mounjaro became so popular that it was listed by the FDA as one of nearly 200 drugs experiencing a supply shortage, along with [[Wegovy]], [[Ozempic]] (semaglutide), and [[Trulicity]] (dulaglutide), which are sometimes prescribed for off-label [[weight loss]] use.

In October 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Mounjaro, a diabetes drug, a fast-track designation for weight loss, leading to speculation that it will be approved for weight loss use this year due to its promising results in clinical trials. | In October 2022, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Mounjaro, a diabetes drug, a fast-track designation for weight loss, leading to speculation that it will be approved for weight loss use this year due to its promising results in clinical trials. | ||
