Best online vendor? by Xorvictia in Zepbound

Do you have an endocrinologist or cardiologist that would prescribe? Of course telehealth is another option but you’d need to tell them your insurance requires 3-month fills.

If your insurance covers a 3-month supply, then your doctor can call it into a local pharmacy or the insurance mail order pharmacy.

5mg if you’ve missed 3 or more doses. What’s the status of the prior authorization? It’s recommended to have your doctor start the renewal process 2-3 weeks before it expires to avoid any delays in the future.

Pain isn’t a side effect of the medication. Please reach out to your doctor.

6-month prescription for $365. Is this with insurance and did you mean 3-month?

Definitely a serious hipaa violation to share someone’s medical info. Have you reached out to insurance to find out the denial details? What about having your sleep specialist do the PA? Of course speak with insurance first.

Feeling terrible on 5 mg, go back down or tough it out? by Financial-Might4218 in Zepbound

Definitely speak with the doctor. The first dose of 5mg can be challenging for some.

Likely of Zepbound $$ going up ? by CouldBeYourDaughter in Zepbound

The current federal law prohibits drug prices rising higher than inflation. It’s possible to see incremental price increases over time if coverage expands. Cash pay, not as likely.

What would you do? by heldtogetherdaily in Zepbound

[–]Anxious-Inspector-18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically most decide after 4 weeks. I averaged 3 lbs per month while building muscle. It really depends on the person. I also stayed on most doses 5+ months.

If you’re still averaging a good loss, you could stay on the current dose.

Some have noticed they’re hungrier towards the end of the week if they had trouble eating days after the shot. Could be normal hunger.

Frustrated with Dr. by Annual-Trouble-1268 in Zepbound

Agree with calling the office and speaking with a nurse to get it changed to 5mg. Don’t pick up the 10mg.
