Zepbound and Mounjaro (tirzepatide): why the FDA put a warning on the label Tirzepatide has 2 active ingredients: GLP-1 / GIP dual agonists and the FDA labels for both Mounjaro (the diabetes formulation) and Zepbound (the chronic-weight-management formulation) carry an explicit drug-interaction note about oral hormonal contraceptives
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) mimic the actions of a natural hormone that helps control blood sugar and appetite

The key advantages over oral semaglutide include no fasting requirement, no water restriction, and potentially better tolerability based on the clinical trial safety profile
