## Yes, the medicine is real. Check the offer.

As recorded on September 26, 2026, Mounjaro and Zepbound are among the tirzepatide products approved by FDA in the United States.

FDA is short for Food and Drug Administration. Medicines receive this agency's review for specific uses; an approval does not extend to every product carrying the same drug name.

- Ask for the exact product name and container: a medicine pen for giving a shot, or a vial, a small bottle of medicine.

- Write down who would assess you, including their name.

- Ask which pharmacy would fill the prescription.

- Request a full cost breakdown, including care fees.

## Pick the question you need answered

A polished offer can still leave the basics unclear. Start with the part you cannot yet explain in your own words.

[ What is tirzepatide?  The drug name, the brand names and what each is approved to treat.  ↗ ](/answer-cards/medicine/) [ Who would treat me?  Get a name, then check the licence record.  ↗ ](/question-cards/clinician/) [ What would I pay?  List the charge for medicine apart from fees for care.  ↗ ](/cost-cards/) [ What calls for a pause?  Look past badges, broad claims and low headline prices.  ↗ ](/warning-cards/)

## Bring the questions to the conversation

You do not need to sound like an expert. Ask for plain answers, keep notes and return to any answer that still feels vague.

- Use the quick card when you want a short list to print.

- Use the full question cards when you want to dig into an offer.

- Use the cost worksheet once you have a written quote.
