Mounjaro® Weight Loss Medication Treatment
Mounjaro® contains tirzepatide, the same active ingredient found in Zepbound®.
The difference between the two medications is the indication – Mounjaro® is indicated for the
treatment of type 2 diabetes, whilst Zepbound® is indicated for chronic weight management.
Mounjaro® Coverage & Savings
With Type 2 Diabetes Coverage: Pay as little as $25/month
Important Coverage Update: Mounjaro® is FDA-approved for Type 2 Diabetes.
For weight loss without diabetes, the same medication is available as Zepbound®.
Our team provides expert Prior Authorization support. We verify your diagnosis and coverage to ensure you get the right medication label (Mounjaro vs. Zepbound) for the lowest possible cost.

Don’t have Diabetes? Looking for Weight Loss?
Most insurance plans will deny Mounjaro® for weight loss alone.
* Option A: See Zepbound® (Same Drug, FDA-Approved for Weight Loss)
* Option B: See Oral Wegovy® (Pill form, starting at $149/mo)

| Active Ingredient | Tirzepatide (Dual Agonist) | Tirzepatide (Dual Agonist) |
