If you have Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage and none of the ZEPBOUND savings options are applicable or affordable for me, what can you do?

If you are insured with Medicare and the ZEPBOUND drug savings options are not applicable to you and still remain unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

The government site is easy to use and after you have selected your state, it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. State Medicaid programs may cover the full cost of your medication.

People who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid are called ‘dual eligibles’.

If you are denied Medicaid for ZEPBOUND, and you are still unable to afford your copay or co-insurance element (for example if you are in the coverage gap or Donut Hole) then you may be eligible for a federal support program like Low Income Subsidy. To be eligible for Low Income Subsidy, you need to be a resident in one of the 50 States or the District of Columbia. You can check eligibility online at SSA Medicare D Extra Help. You can also call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

I am uninsured or underinsured and none of the ZEPBOUND prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, what can I do?

If you are uninsured or underinsured (for example, ZEPBOUND is not covered by your plan) and the drug savings options are not applicable or still unaffordable, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. State Medicaid programs may cover the full cost of your medication.

If you are denied and all else fails, and if you have been prescribed ZEPBOUND for an FDA-approved indication, you can call the pharmaceutical company to see if they have any other assistance programs.

I am commercially or privately insured and none of the ZEPBOUND prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, what can I do?

If your medication is not covered by your plan, you can you can appeal your insurance company’s decision. Sometimes, a formal appeal can result in the drug being covered if it is deemed medically necessary.

If you cannot afford your copay, then you can check Medicaid eligibility in your state by following the instructions at HealthCare.gov.

However, being privately insured might complicate your eligibility for Medicaid, as having private insurance may be considered in the financial eligibility assessment.

The government site is easy to use and you can select your state and it will navigate you to the appropriate contact point to make the application. If you qualify, state Medicaid may cover the full cost of your medication.

If I have federal, state or commercial insurance and none of the ZEPBOUND prescription saving options are applicable or affordable for me, are there any other support organisations that can help me with my co-insurance or copay?

chronic weight management in adults with

obesity (body mass index of 30 kilograms per square meter (kg/ m2) or greater);

or overweight (body mass index of 27 kg/m2 or greater) with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, obstructive sleep apnea, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol) for use, in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

It is not know if ZEPBOUND can be used in people who had pancreatitis.

It is not known if ZEPBOUND is safe and effective for use in children under 18 years of age.

When not to use ZEPBOUND ?

There are certain precautions where ZEPBOUND may not be suitable if:

  • You are allergic to tirzepatide or ingredients found in ZEPBOUND pen
  • You have problems with your pancreas or kidney
  • You have a history of diabetic retinopathy
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed
  • You or you family have had medullary thyroid carcinoma – MTC
  • You have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 -MEN 2
  • You have severe problems with your stomach, such as slowed emptying of your stomach (gastroparesis) or problems digesting food
  • You are taking insulin or sulfonylureas
  • You take birth control pills by mouth? These may not work as well while using ZEPBOUND. Your healthcare provider may recommend another type of birth control when you start ZEPBOUND or when you increase your dose
  • You have type 1 diabetes

Active ingredient of ZEPBOUND  and mechanism of action

The active ingredient in ZEPBOUND is tirzepatide. Tirzepatide is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It is the first and only unimolecular dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist.

Both GIP and GLP-1 increase the production of insulin in your body.

It has proven to result in significant reductions in A1c levels and body weight. ZEPBOUND works in several ways:

  • It increases insulin production, but only when your blood sugar is rising—which makes the risk of low blood sugar minimal
  • It decreases your liver’s production of sugar
  • It slows down the speed at which your stomach empties food into your intestine. This helps manage your blood sugars after eating while also leaving you feeling full longer

Is ZEPBOUND as effective as WEGOVY? 

ZEPBOUND is more effective than WEGOVY (semaglutide) for weight loss. For people taking ZEPBOUND, the weight loss can reach up to 21% compared to the weight loss that you see from WEGOVY which tops out at around 15%.

Does ZEPBOUND  reduce cardiovascular risks?

Findings published in the American Heart Association’s journal Hypertension, involving 500 people whose blood pressure was monitored continuously showed that readings from the 24-hour period at the start of the study to the 24-hour period at the end of the 36-week trial period resulted in people’s systolic blood pressure decreasing by between 7 and 10 points, depending on the dosage of ZEPBOUND administered.

Systolic blood pressure is the reading that is a predictor of heart attacks.

Can ZEPBOUND  be used for weight loss?

Yes. ZEPBOUND is approved by the FDA for use in chronic weight management.

Can ZEPBOUND  Pen be shared?

No. You should not share your ZEPBOUND pen with others, even if the needle is changed. You may give other people a serious infection or get a serious infection from them through cross-contamination.

Is it safe to use compounded ZEPBOUND ?

The manufacturer has said that they do not sell ZEPBOUND or the active ingredient tirzepatide for compounding. Eli Lilly is the sole company that has FDA approval to market ZEPBOUND and it is supplied in a branded box that includes a proprietary pen along with FDA-approved prescribing information. Eli Lilly cannot validate safety or effectiveness of products claiming to contain tirzepatide. Therefore, compounded ZEPBOUND should be avoided.

Is there a shortage of ZEPBOUND ?

ZEPBOUND, in all strengths, is available to community pharmacies nationwide for treatment in patients with obesity.

However, while it is currently available, comments from the CEO of Eli Lilly in January 2024, suggest that the pharmaceutical company many not be able to meet market demand in 2024.
