"It's an exciting day for people who've been looking for a way to access and afford our weight loss medication Zepbound," Ricks told ABC News' Whit Johnson. "Now they can go to LillyDirect and, with a prescription from their doctor and a phone, access the drug in vial forms."
"With insurance coverage, Zepbound can cost as low as $25 per month, but without coverage, the medication can cost more than $1,000 per month," Ricks explained.
Medical professionals can start filling prescriptions for the Zepbound vials on Tuesday via LillyDirect and the vials will start shipping in the days ahead.
Zepbound is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a weight loss management treatment for people with obesity or those who are overweight with at least one related underlying condition such as high blood pressure.
