From TFA:
> The Food and Drug Administration Wednesday approved the Eli Lilly drug tirzepatide for people who have obesity. The drug, sold under the name Mounjaro, has been available since last year for people with type 2 diabetes to help improve blood sugar.
> The news means that many people who have obesity but not diabetes can, for the first time, get insurance to cover tirzepatide. One expert called the approval a "major milestone" in obesity medicine.
> As a treatment solely for obesity, the drug will be called Zepbound.
