This is not medical advice. Follow the Instructions for Use in your carton and what your prescriber or pharmacist told you. Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a prescription medicine. Do not share your pen. When the four weekly doses are done, discard the pen, including any leftover.

- Attach a 32-gauge pen needle (outer cap and inner cap)
- Prime until you see medicine
- Dial to 1 — watch the window, don’t count clicks for the dose
- Clean the site, inject, hold, confirm the window is back at 0
- Recap and put the needle in a sharps container
