Short answer
Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro, has an elimination half-life of about 5 days. A drug is generally considered almost cleared after 5 to 7 half-lives, so tirzepatide falls to very low levels roughly 25 to 35 days after the last injection; appetite and GI effects often fade sooner. Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) lasts longer, with a half-life of about 1 week. Tirzepatide can make oral contraceptives less reliable, and its label addresses backup contraception; pregnancy planning, surgery and switching medicines should be discussed with a prescriber.
