When will Zepbound be available in pharmacies?
Zepbound® for weight loss is currently available in U.S. pharmacies with a valid prescription. Supplies of Zepbound autoinjector pens may vary between different chains, so it may be helpful to confirm the medication is in stock with your pharmacy. The cost of Zepbound can vary depending on what insurance plan you have. The best way to find out if your insurance covers Zepound is to check your drug formulary or call your insurance company using the phone number on the back of your insurance card.
Zepbound (tirzepatide) single dose vials became available in August 2024 in 2.5 mg and 5 mg doses. If eligible, your healthcare clinician will send a prescription for Zepbound vials to LillyDirect Pharmacy. From there you will be contacted regarding the next steps to check out. Zepbound single dose vials are only available via cash pay and can not be paid for via insurance. You can also purchase ancillary supplies like syringes and needles through LillyDirect Pharmacy or separately from your local pharmacy (note: some states require a prescription to purchase syringes and needles). The Zepbound vials are only available through LillyDirect and are not available at pharmacy chains at the time of writing.
