@tls85 Lilly Direct with no insurance costs $349 at the 2.5mg starting dose for a vial-4 doses. You can go to Lilly Direct and check out prices with and without insurance. Sometimes without is less for some on the lower doses. I do hear they will be having higher doses at a later time.

@tls85 in 2026 the cap on out of pocket expenses ( for Medicare part d) is $2100. For me I will make it long before 2026 is ended

@tls85 check pricing for using a bottle of Zepbound and syringe and also the higher doses, 7.5 mg is $71 for me and $10 mg is $83, price varies by location for Medicare.

@tls85 I do think it is worth it especially if you need to lose weight. My weight loss is going slower than some, but I have been losing weight. They say that it takes a while for the sleep apnea to improve. Zepbound also helps with inflammation. I have been on prednisone for over 2 years for PMR - polymyalga rhemutica and the Zepbound has been helping me taper off the prednisone. It has helped be move better and feel better.
