Patients diagnosed with obesity alone or with obstructive sleep apnea can pay for the vials themselves on the site.

Around 10% of new patients in the obesity market who start a treatment are using Zepbound through LillyDirect 's self-pay pharmacy.

LillyDirect connects people with an independent telehealth company that can prescribe certain drugs if the patients are eligible.

The site also offers a home-delivery option if the prescribed treatment is Eli Lilly's .
