Standard Zepbound dose schedule
Zepbound is titrated up gradually so your body can adjust to the medication and minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Most people stay at each dose for at least four weeks before stepping up. Your prescriber decides how high to go based on your tolerance and progress.
- 2.5 mgWeeks 1–4Starting dose. Not intended for weight loss; gets your body acclimated.
- 5 mgWeeks 5–8
- 7.5 mgWeeks 9–12 (optional bridge)
- 10 mgWeeks 13–16
- 12.5 mgWeeks 17–20 (optional bridge)
- 15 mgMaintenanceMaximum approved dose.
The 7.5 mg and 12.5 mg steps are optional bridges between maintenance doses. Most people land on 5, 10, or 15 mg long-term.
What the trials show for Zepbound
22.5% mean body-weight loss at 15 mg over 72 weeks
SURMOUNT-1 was a 72-week randomized trial of 2,539 adults with obesity (or overweight plus a weight-related condition) without diabetes. Participants were assigned to placebo or to 5, 10, or 15 mg of tirzepatide once weekly, alongside lifestyle counseling.

Common side effects of Zepbound
Tirzepatide-specific tolerability profile.
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
- Vomiting
- Decreased appetite
- Fatigue
- Injection-site reactions
GI side effects are most common in the first weeks after starting and after each dose increase, then typically ease within a few weeks at a stable dose. Eating smaller, lower-fat meals and staying hydrated tends to help. Severe or persistent vomiting is a reason to contact your prescriber rather than push through.

Zepbound questions
Made for GLP-1 users,
by a GLP-1 user
After months on GLP-1s, I was frustrated. I found myself navigating forgotten doses, inconsistent progress, and juggling multiple tracking apps without getting much in return. So, I decided to build something better.
Over the last year, I built Sage to be the ultimate companion for GLP-1 medication. I prioritized bringing ease, clarity, and efficacy to tracking. And it's only going to get better.
