Is Tirzepatide FDA approved?

Tirzepatide is FDA approved, but only for a specific indication — not for general use.

FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management.

An approval for one condition is not an approval for everything a compound is marketed for. That distinction is where most confusion in this category comes from — a drug approved for one use is frequently sold for several others it was never evaluated for.
