Tirzepatide is called Zepbound for weight loss and Mounjaro for diabetes, but it's the same medication. Millions of people are taking tirzepatide for weight loss. It's the same situation with Semaglutide- it's called Wegovy when it's for weight loss, but it's called Ozempic when it's for diabetes. Again- millions are taking it for weight loss. It's the same molecule either way.Since I doubt any of you are diabetic, taking diabetes medication for weight loss is a horrible idea.
True, but keep in mind that these are pretty new medications (Zepbound approved for weight loss in 2023) - so don’t be surprised if we learn more about harmful effects over time. They already carry extensive and serious side effects warnings.Tirzepatide is called Zepbound for weight loss and Mounjaro for diabetes, but it's the same medication.

Okay, thanks for the info on the nomenclature. I am aware millions are taking it. What is popular is not always right. Maybe these people never learned that the "easy way" often ends up being the hard way.Tirzepatide is called Zepbound for weight loss and Mounjaro for diabetes, but it's the same medication.

Already banned in some countries. Anyways from what I understand a lot of the harmful effects are being caused by improper nutrition. The same poor diet that got them to that point in the first place. So add in an appetite suppressant and you get malnutrition and all the nasty effects of that, in combination with the unknown long term effects? Horrible idea.True, but keep in mind that these are pretty new medications (Zepbound approved for weight loss in 2023) - so don’t be surprised if we learn more about harmful effects over time.

These drugs have been in use for weel over a decade and are among the best tested and studied drugs in decades. Their risks and side effect are week known.Okay, thanks for the info on the nomenclature. I am aware millions are taking it. What is popular is not always right.
