Target Up to 20% Weight Loss with Zepbound

Zepbound is an FDA-approved prescription medication intended for adults living with obesity or those who are overweight and have at least one related health condition. It acts by mimicking gut hormones that influence appetite, blood sugar regulation, and feelings of satiety.

Possible Side Effects

While Zepbound has been shown to be generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects. These commonly include nausea, upset stomach, constipation, vomiting, bloating, fatigue, hair loss, allergic reactions, or mild discomfort at the injection site. 

Zepbound should not be used if you or a family member has a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). For complete safety details, please visit the official site: https://uspl.lilly.com/zepbound/zepbound.html

How Zepbound Supports Weight Loss

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Zepbound, imitates two natural gut hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that help regulate appetite and blood sugar. These hormones signal your brain to slow digestion, reduce hunger, and promote a sense of fullness after eating. This mechanism may assist individuals in managing portion sizes and making more mindful eating decisions.

In addition to appetite regulation, Zepbound may help improve insulin response and manage blood glucose, which can benefit those with insulin resistance or prediabetes. Its dual-action effect offers a comprehensive approach to weight management through multiple metabolic pathways.

What to Expect from Your Zepbound Journey in Winter Park

Your treatment begins with an in-depth consultation at our Winter Park office, where we’ll review your medical history, lab work, and goals to determine if Zepbound is appropriate for your situation.

If prescribed, you’ll be guided through how to self-administer your once-weekly injection using a prefilled pen—typically in the thigh or abdomen. Your provider will adjust the dosage gradually, based on your response, while monitoring progress to help ensure a safe and effective experience.

Insurance and Zepbound Coverage

Insurance coverage for Zepbound may differ depending on the provider. Some private health plans might offer coverage, often requiring prior approval. Medicare may also cover it for individuals with qualifying health conditions. Our Winter Park team can assist you in reviewing your benefits and exploring your options.
