When will Zepbound be available in Canada?
As of early 2024, Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Zebound has not submitted it to Health Canada for approval. Zepbound currently only remains approved by the FDA for sale in the US.
Zepbound will be made available by Eli Lilly for distribution in Canada after it has been approved by Health Canada. However, your medical practitioner may be able to recommend other options, including tirzepatide, as effective treatment options.
What is Zepbound?
Zepbound (tirzepatide) is a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been approved by Health Canada for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes, and is also prescribed for weight loss in a program that includes diet and exercise.
Similar to Mounjaro, which also contains the same active ingredient, Zepbound is expected to be made available in Canada as pre-filled single-dose injectors, or as a single dose vial.
Health Canada's regulations require confirming your patient status to learn more. Please provide the Drug Identification Number (DIN) from your product packaging.
How does Zepbound work?
Zepbound contains tirzepatide, the first and only once-a-week active ingredient, which activates two receptors: GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1). This increases insulin production while decreasing glucagon levels, which, in turn, decreases blood glucose levels in the body. It also reduces food intake, and slows down the speed at which your stomach digests food.

Mounjaro may be covered by some insurance plans and employers for individuals with certain conditions. Provincial programs will vary in coverage as well. In addition, some insurance plans may require that you try other treatments before taking Mounjaro for underlying conditions.
Many insurance companies and employers may choose to provide coverage for Mounjaro. Before agreeing to cover the cost, they may ask for a confirmation or explanation from your doctor indicating its medical necessity, sometimes referred to as a pre-authorization. This approval process can take several days or weeks. For specifics regarding coverage, it's always best to contact your insurance provider directly and inquire about Mounjaro.
Cloudcure can not only help you navigate insurance coverage, but also help direct bills to your drug insurance plan.

Pricing for Zepbound is not currently available for Canada. Depending on your insurance coverage, you may pay an amount lower than the retail cost of the medication.
Zepbound is indicated for Obesity and is expected to be reviewed by Health Canada for this claim.
Zepbound is designed for self-administration using a pen injector or needle. It is generally administered once a week into the subcutaneous fatty tissue under the skin. The injection process is relatively straightforward with minimal discomfort, and most individuals can do it themselves.
Currently, Zepbound is offered solely as an injectable medication. If needles aren't your preference, you can ask your healthcare provider about other options like Rybelsus, an oral medication containing Semaglutide. It's best to discuss these choices with your healthcare professional.
Individual patients' experiences with Zepbound may vary. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion, and/or abdominal pain. Many common side effects improve in the first few weeks as you get used to the medication. If symptoms persist or get worse, you should seek immediate medical care.
You should speak to your medical practitioner about side effects before you start treatment.
Zepbound may be a safe, long-term treatment for some patients under the supervision of a clinician. Your clinician will also guide you on dosage adjustments, monitoring and whether it is safe for you to gradually reduce the dosage.
