To get Zepbound, you need a prescription from a healthcare provider after meeting specific criteria. Zepbound (tirzepatide) is FDA-approved for weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 or higher with weight-related health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Your doctor will evaluate your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals during a consultation. The medication costs around $1,000-$1,200 per month without insurance, though some insurance plans may provide coverage. You'll need regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust dosing as needed.
