The Zepbound KwikPen costs $299 to $449 a month without insurance

By John Samaras, Editor

LillyDirect charges $299 a month at 2.5mg, $399 at 5mg and $449 at 7.5mg and up. The $449 holds when you refill within 45 days. A late refill costs $499 at 7.5mg and $699 at 10mg to 15mg. Compounded tirzepatide, a pharmacy-made version that is not FDA-approved and is not Zepbound or Mounjaro, costs less.

If the pen is more than you can pay each month, two cash programs to check.

The KwikPen or the vial
