Zepbound (Tirzepatide) Monthly Costs Without Insurance

Single-Dose Pens (Brand Name Zepbound)

  • 2.5 mg: ~$1,060/month
  • 5 mg: ~$1,060/month
  • 7.5 mg: ~$1,060/month
  • 10 mg: ~$1,060/month
  • 12.5 mg: ~$1,060/month
  • 15 mg: ~$1,060/month

Eli Lilly sells these directly through their LillyDirect pharmacy at a flat ~$1,060/month retail price.

Vials (Single-Dose Vials via LillyDirect)

Yes — vials are significantly cheaper:

  • 2.5 mg & 5 mg vials: ~$399/month
  • 7.5 mg & 10 mg vials: ~$549/month
  • 12.5 mg & 15 mg vials: ~$699/month

These require a separate syringe for injection and are sold exclusively through LillyDirect.

Money-Saving Tips

  • Lilly's savings card can reduce costs to as low as $25/month if you have commercial insurance
  • GoodRx may offer some discounts at retail pharmacies
  • Vials through LillyDirect are currently the most affordable brand-name option

The vials are a legitimate Eli Lilly product — same medication, just a different delivery format.
