Get tirzepatide online prescriptions for Zepbound® or Mounjaro®

You can get tirzepatide (Zepbound) for weight loss through reputable online weight loss programs like Success by Sesame.

During an online video consult, your Sesame provider can determine if tirzepatide is the right medication for your weight management needs. If it is, they can write a prescription for tirzepatide or another weight loss medication, help with monthly Rx refills, and provide ongoing support with nutrition, sleep, and healthy habits throughout your journey.

Other weight loss medications that can be prescribed through Success by Sesame include:

• Wegovy pens (semaglutide)
• Wegovy pills (semaglutide)
• Saxenda (liraglutide)
• Contrave (bupropion naltrexone)

Zepbound pens and vials contain the same active ingredient (tirzepatide) and are available in the exact same doses. However, they differ in terms of how they’re injected and how much Zepbound pens and vials cost without insurance.

• How they’re injected: Zepbound pens are pre-filled and are injected directly under the patient’s skin. Zepbound vials are pre-measured, but require the user to draw the medication out of a vial with a syringe before injecting the medication under the skin.

• How much they cost: Zepbound pens can cost between $1,080-$1,200 per month, while Zepbound vials are available to self-pay patients only and cost between $299-$449 per month.

Zepbound is different from Ozempic and Wegovy because it contains tirzepatide, which targets two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), while Ozempic and Wegovy contain semaglutide, which targets only GLP-1. This dual action may lead to greater weight loss for some patients.

Wegovy and Zepbound are also FDA-approved specifically for chronic weight management. Ozempic, on the other hand, is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes. All three medications are once-weekly injections, but their effectiveness, dosing, and cost can differ.

No, tirzepatide (Mounjaro or Zepbound) is currently only available with a prescription. A licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.

If you want to discuss a prescription for tirzepatide, providers on Sesame can assess your eligibility and prescribe tirzepatide if it's appropriate for your medical condition and needs.

Note that all prescriptions are at the discretion of your health care provider. Sesame cannot guarantee that you will be provided a prescription after a video or in-person appointment.

The typical dosing regimen for tirzepatide is the same for both Mounjaro and Zepbound. Dosage usually starts at 2.5 mg once weekly for a month or so, and is then slowly increased (titrated) up based on your body’s response. Here’s what a standard tirzepatide dosing schedule looks like:

• Zepbound pens and vials (weekly injection for weight loss): 2.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then increased by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks as tolerated, up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly.
• Mounjaro (weekly injection for diabetes): 2.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks, then increased by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks as tolerated, up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly.

It’s important to note that your tirzepatide dose schedule can vary based on your health history, other medications, side effects, and goals. Follow your medical provider’s instructions and ask them what’s right for you.

Providers on Sesame can help you get a prescription for tirzepatide, which you can pick up at a pharmacy near you, often on the same day. Don't wait to get your prescription filled—talk to a provider on Sesame today and streamline the process for convenient pickup from a pharmacy of your choice.

Please remember that the decision to prescribe tirzepatide is at the discretion of your health care provider.

Certain GLP-1 therapies such as semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy), liraglutide (the active ingredient in Saxenda and Victoza), and tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) may increase the likelihood of developing thyroid gland tumors, including MTC, a type of thyroid cancer. This conclusion is based on studies where laboratory animals given semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide and other GLP-1 medications developed tumors. However, it is not yet confirmed if these medications pose the same risk to humans. You can find additional information about the risks of FDA-approved medications that contain semaglutide here.

It’s important to inform your doctor if you or any family member has ever had MTC or MEN. If this is the case, your doctor will likely advise against taking GLP-1 medications.

If you are prescribed a GLP-1 medication and exhibit any of the following symptoms, you should contact your provider immediately:

• A lump or swelling in the neck
  
• Hoarseness
  
• Difficulty swallowing
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Severe abdominal pain

Before taking GLP-1 medications, you should also discuss the following with your provider:

Allergies: Inform your doctor and pharmacist of any allergies you have to semaglutide (including under brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) or similar medications such as tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), dulaglutide (Trulicity), exenatide (Bydureon BCise, Byetta), liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza, or in Xultophy) and lixisenatide (Adlyxin, or in Soliqua).

Personal and family medical history: Be sure to disclose if you have a history of medical conditions like pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, gallbladder disease or kidney disease. Inform your doctor about recent episodes of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or any inability to consume liquids, which could lead to dehydration.

Current medications and supplements: Provide a comprehensive list of all medicines and supplements you are currently taking, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products. This is crucial as GLP-1 medications can alter how your body absorbs oral medications.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant soon.

Surgical procedures: In the event of surgery, including dental procedures, inform the medical or dental professional that you are on GLP-1 medication.

It's essential to thoroughly discuss these risks with your healthcare provider and consider your personal and family medical history when deciding whether to use these medications. Your doctor can provide guidance on the best course of action based on your specific health situation.
