Zepbound is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, with dosing typically starting at 2.5 mg for 4 weeks, then increasing by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks as tolerated (through intermediate steps of 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg) to a maintenance dose of 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg based on individual response and tolerability
