Who Makes Zepbound?
Disclaimer: The content made available on The FORM Website represents the views and opinions of the authors and not those of other entities, such as the manufacturers of products mentioned therein.
Zepbound™ is manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company, a US-based pharmaceutical company that develops, tests, and produces various medications including some used for treatment of diabetes and weight loss. They also produce Mounjaro® which has the same active ingredient (tirzepatide) as Zepbound.
Some medical practices and pharmacies advertise compounded tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro). Note that these are not the same medications that are manufactured by Eli Lilly and are not FDA-approved medications. There are safety concerns regarding these compounded medications which you can read more about here. FORM does not prescribe or recommend using compounded weight loss medications.
Zepbound™ and Mounjaro® and their delivery device bases are registered trademarks owned or licensed by Eli Lilly and Company, its subsidiaries, or affiliates.
