Note: Anti-Obesity GLP-1s Wegovy and Zepbound
The conversation about maintaining weight loss after tirzepatide and potentially tapering off the medication is one to have with your provider well before you reach your goal weight
Tirzepatide, a breakthrough medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes and now also approved for weight management, offers benefits that go well beyond weight loss alone
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Zepbound for use in chronic weight management by adults with obesity, and by adults with overweight plus at least one weight-related health issue, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or elevated cholesterol
This process further slows the progression of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis through reducing cell death [3]
Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception while using tirzepatide
