Yes, it is officially approved by the US FDA for weight loss under the name Zepbound. I always worry about side effects of new drugs, so please make sure to discuss it thoroughly with your doctor before starting.

Yes, it is FDA approved. However, if you have any family history of thyroid issues, you need to be very careful as there are specific warnings. Get your thyroid levels checked and consult your doctor first.

Yes, the FDA approved tirzepatide for weight loss in late 2023. While the approval confirms its safety and efficacy profile, your physician's evaluation is still essential to determine if it is suitable for you.
