Brand name or compounded

Zepbound or compounded tirzepatide?

Both are tirzepatide, prescribed by the same Seattle providers after the same visit. The difference is who makes it, whether the FDA has approved it, and what it costs.

Questions

Zepbound questions

Is Zepbound FDA approved?

Yes. Zepbound (tirzepatide) is made by Eli Lilly and approved by the FDA. It is the same product a retail pharmacy dispenses, prescribed here by a Seattle provider and shipped to you.

Who dispenses it?

GoGo Meds, a licensed US pharmacy. Your prescription is written by a licensed provider from Arora Health in Seattle after your online or video visit.

Does insurance cover it here?

No. This is a self-pay price. If your insurance covers Zepbound, a retail pharmacy with your plan will usually cost less, and we will tell you so in your visit.

What is the difference from compounded tirzepatide?

Zepbound is the FDA-approved manufactured product. Compounded tirzepatide is made by a state-licensed pharmacy for one patient from a prescription, is not FDA approved, and costs much less. See compounded tirzepatide.
