What is tirzepatide acetate and is it the same as tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide acetate is a salt form of tirzepatide that some compounding pharmacies list on their labels, while Zepbound and Mounjaro contain tirzepatide itself. FDA has warned that salt forms of semaglutide are different active ingredients from the approved drug, and the same question applies to a tirzepatide salt. Ask the program which form and which pharmacy it uses; compounded tirzepatide of any form is not FDA-approved.
