New Approval Alert: FDA approves Eli Lilly’s Zepbound™ (Tirzepatide) for Chronic Weight Management

Nov 8, 2023

The FDA approved Eli Lilly’s Zepbound™ (Tirzepatide) as an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management in adults with a specified initial body mass index (BMI).  Tirzepatide is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.  Eli Lilly’s other tirzepatide product, Mounjaro™, was approved in May 2022 as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
