A new way to access FDA-approved GLP-1s
The fastest way to lose weight, now at the lowest price ever*
Targets two hormone receptors to curb hunger
At Ro, you’ve got options – access Zepbound in a single-dose vial or prefilled pen.
What is Zepbound?
Zepbound contains tirzepatide—the same active ingredient as Mounjaro®. It’s an FDA-approved GLP-1 for weight loss in adults with obesity, or overweight with a weight-related condition, alongside diet and exercise. Zepbound is now available as a multidose KwikPen or as a single-dose autoinjector pen.
What are the common side effects of Zepbound?
The common side effects of Zepbound often improve within the first few weeks of starting treatment. Side effects may also occur when doses are increased.
Some of the most common side effects of Zepbound include:
Nausea
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Constipation
Stomach pain
Indigestion
These are not all of the possible side effects of Zepbound. Learn more about other side effects and serious warnings at ro.co/safety.
How is Zepbound different from Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
Zepbound and Wegovy are approved by the FDA for weight loss, while Ozempic is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but can be prescribed off-label for weight loss, if appropriate.
The main difference between these medications is the active ingredient. Ozempic and Wegovy contain semaglutide, while Zepbound contains tirzepatide. Tirzepatide is a dual-action GLP-1 and GIP, meaning it works by activating two receptors. In comparison, semaglutide activates the GLP-1 receptor only. Both Zepbound and Wegovy curb hunger and regulate your appetite, helping you feel fuller faster and for longer.
What’s the difference between the Zepbound pen and the Zepbound KwikPen?
The Zepbound autoinjector pen and KwikPen are the exact same FDA-approved medication in different delivery devices.
On average, people on Zepbound lose 20% of their weight in a year.

Start losing weight in 5 simple steps
1. Start your online visit
Answer a few questions about your health and goals, all online—no in-person doctor’s office visit necessary. You’ll find out if you’re eligible within 2 days.
2. Provider writes an Rx (if appropriate)
A provider will review your info and prescribe the right GLP-1 treatment for you, if eligible. Get ready for your first dose in 1-2 weeks if paying cash, or 2-3 weeks if using insurance.
3. Check your insurance coverage
Ro checks your insurance to see if GLP-1 coverage is available. If you require prior authorization, Ro's insurance concierge fights for coverage and submits all paperwork on your behalf. If you're covered, a prescription is sent to your pharmacy. If not, your provider will suggest alternative FDA-approved cash pay GLP-1 options. This process takes about 2-3 weeks.
4. Start your treatment
If paying cash, your medication ships right to your door and you can take your first dose in less than a week. If using insurance, your medication can be picked up at your pharmacy.
5. Get support to stay on track
Keep making progress with regular check-ins, expert guidance, and access to your care team 24/7. Ongoing care and support is there for you when you need it—whether it’s a quick chat with your provider or routine check-ins, we’re with you every step of the way.
