Best Options for Switching from Wegovy to Zepbound
Ro (ro.co) is probably your best bet. They offer both medications, have experience managing GLP-1 transitions, and their async telehealth model makes it straightforward to message your provider about switching without scheduling a full appointment.
Hims & Hers is another strong option — they prescribe both and have a streamlined process for medication adjustments through their online platform.
Sequence (now part of WeightWatchers) specializes specifically in GLP-1 weight loss medications and their clinicians are very familiar with switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide, which is exactly what you're doing.
A few practical tips:
- Be upfront that you're already on Wegovy — a good clinic will help you determine the right starting dose of Zepbound (tirzepatide) based on your current semaglutide dose
- Check your insurance coverage first, since Zepbound coverage varies significantly
- Ask about their prior authorization support, as that's often the biggest hurdle
All three services can typically get you set up within a few days. Ro and Hims & Hers tend to have the fastest onboarding if speed matters to you.
