Overview
- Cash-paying patients who order through LillyDirect will be able to pick up Zepbound prescriptions at Walmart pharmacies nationwide by mid-November.
- Monthly pricing is set at $349 for the 2.5 mg starter dose and $499 for 5–15 mg doses, with product supplied as vials rather than auto-injector pens.
- Patients using higher doses must enroll in Lilly’s self-pay journey program designed to support continuity of access.
- Lilly positions the Walmart tie-up as part of its direct-to-consumer strategy that has already driven about 35% of new Q2 2025 Zepbound prescriptions through LillyDirect while countering compounders and telehealth knockoffs.
- The deal specifies in-store pickup rather than home refrigerated delivery and follows Novo Nordisk’s recent Costco partnership for cash-pay Wegovy.
