Anyone on Medicare been prescribed Zepbound for sleep apnea

Perhaps the clinical presentation is that someone's abdomen is large and pushes up against the diaphragm and causes sleep apnea.....perhaps Zepbound was to encourage weight loss to improve the apnea.

I am not sure why losing weight will help with sleep apnea but most doctor's think being even a little overweight can contribute to having that medical condition. I did get approval from my insurance to get the Zepbound which I was very surprised that they allowed. It was rejected several times prior as the medication is expensive but for some reason they approved it this time so I just started on the Zepbound last week. We will see what happens. Thank you for responding.

Yes, I am on Medicare and am taking Zepbound for sleep apnea. ( covered by Medicare) I have been on it for several months and have lost about 15 pounds - I am overweight. I also have PMR and am very pleased that this Rx has helped my inflammation tremendously. I am moving better, sleeping better - better oxygen level. I have no significant side effects. I don’t know if I will ever be able to stop the cpap machine, but am thankful for the weight loss and increased energy.
