Zepbound and Mounjaro are essentially the same medication - they share the same active ingredient and mechanism of action.
However, they are marketed differently to target different health conditions in the US. Let’s explore this further. Read on for the key differences between Zepbound and Mounjaro, as well as a comparison between the two.
Zepbound is a prescription medication prescribed to treat adults with obesity or excess weight. This weight loss medication is specifically for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with a weight-related health condition (for example, high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes).
The active ingredient in Zepbound is tirzepatide. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist - it actives two hormone receptors:
The medication stimulates these hormones to reduce appetite and food intake. This, in turn, leads to weight loss. Like any weight loss medication, Zepbound should be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes - primarily a healthy diet and exercise.
Mounjaro is a prescription medication prescribed to treat adults with type 2 diabetes and is used to help people lose weight. Like Zepbound, the active ingredient in Mounjaro is tirzepatide. Here’s how it works:
You take Mounjaro once a week via subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. Always follow the doctor's instructions regarding dosage. Similar to Zepbound, you will start with a low dose and gradually increase as your body adjusts to the medication.
Zepbound and Mounjaro contain the same ingredients and work in the same way. However, the key differences lie in their approval status and availability. Let’s delve into this a little more:
Mounjaro was approved in the UK for weight management and weight loss in November 2024. It is authorised for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher in those with a weight-related health issue.
Zepbound, however, is a US brand of tirzepatide. It is not approved for use in the UK.
Zepbound is the US equivalent of Mounjaro. The brand name Zepbound is not licenced for use in the UK. Mounjaro, however, is available in the UK.
Mounjaro is available in the UK via prescription. You will need a prescription from a healthcare professional, such as ourselves at Dr Frank's Weight Loss Clinic. Simply complete an online consultation to discuss whether Mounjaro is a suitable medication for you.

If you’re considering Mounjaro as an option for weight management or type 2 diabetes treatment, there are several options:
You can get Mounjaro through the NHS if you meet certain criteria. However, the criteria are quite stringent and waiting lists can be long. There is currently a global shortage of medications that have been used in the treatment pathway where Mounjaro would be used due to the increase of off-label weight loss prescriptions. These supply shortages are expected to last until the end of 2024.
The good news is that you can be prescribed and receive treatment with Mounjaro through registered clinics, including Dr Frank's Weight Loss Clinic. Simply complete a consultation to determine your suitability, and you can then either pick up your prescription from a pharmacy or get it delivered to your home.
Mounjaro can cost around £160 per month. You can access Mounjaro at Dr Frank's for as little as £149.99.
