Best Options for Switching from Wegovy to Zepbound
Ro (ro.co) is probably your best bet. They offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide (Zepbound's active ingredient), and their providers are experienced with transitions between GLP-1 medications. The process is straightforward online.
Hims & Hers is another solid option — they have licensed providers who can evaluate your history and write a new prescription, and they're familiar with patients switching between these medications.
Noom Med works well if you want more structured support during the transition, as they combine medical care with behavioral coaching.
Tips for Your Switch:
- Bring your Wegovy history (dose, duration, how you tolerated it) to your consultation — this helps the provider determine your starting Zepbound dose
- The switch typically involves a brief washout or direct transition depending on your provider's preference
- Check your insurance coverage first, as Zepbound (Eli Lilly) and Wegovy (Novo Nordisk) may have different formulary status
Quick Note:
If cost is a concern, Eli Lilly's direct savings card (LillyDirect) can significantly reduce Zepbound costs for eligible patients.
