LillyDirect (Zepbound)
The manufacturer's own cash channel for FDA-approved Zepbound single-dose vials: $299/month at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg, and $449 for every dose from 7.5 to 15 mg through the Self Pay Journey Program — provided each refill lands within 45 days of the last, otherwise that refill reverts to $599–$1,049 by dose. This is the cheapest FDA-approved tirzepatide in the country and the benchmark every compounded price should be judged against.
