Overview

Both Zepbound and Mounjaro help with weight loss by controlling hunger, but they have slightly different approved uses.

Comparing the Two

• • Zepbound: A newer medicine that was studied to control hunger and promote weight loss.
  • Mounjaro: Works on lowering blood sugar and controlling appetite with the same approach, but was primarily studied in the type-2 diabetes population.

Choosing the Best Option

• • • Consider Side Effects: Your body would likely react similarly to each of these.
    • Cost & Insurance: Mounjaro is probably going to be easier to gain access to, because weight loss may be a benefit exclusion if you have employer-sponsored health insurance.
    • Personal Response: Your provider will consider your health history, eligibility and treatment response.

In Short

Neither Zepbound nor Mounjaro is universally “better”; The right choice depends on your body, health goals, and insurance. Discuss your options with your provider to choose the best fit.
