General Information
Zepbound is actually one of the brand names given to the generic medication tirzepatide.
Regardless of which version you may be using, they both contain the same active ingredient (tirzepatide), and they’re recommended for use with other healthy lifestyle habits, like eating and sleeping well, as well as getting regular physical exercise.
When you buy Zepbound in Vancouver, your treatments will come as preloaded injections that you will be able to take without a practitioner’s direct supervision. Instructions on how to effectively use them will be provided to you during your virtual Zepbound consultation, and included on your prescription packaging for reference.
Haven’t yet requested a prescription for Zepbound? Consider submitting a short online assessment for one of our clinicians to review. They’ll be able to tell you whether or not Zepbound could be beneficial for you.
In order to get a prescription for Zepbound in Vancouver, you’ll need to get your health and medical history evaluated by a licensed healthcare practitioner – like the ones that you can find at Felix.
Once they’ve taken a look at your situation, they’ll be able to determine if Zepbound could be useful as part of your overall treatment plan, or if perhaps an alternative might be a better choice for your individual needs.
If they approve that Zepbound is available in Vancouver for you, they’ll be able to provide you with the prescription you need to then get Zepbound orders in Vancouver from Felix.
It’s nearly impossible to provide a specific cost for Zepbound that will accurately represent every patient’s situation, since this can be impacted by a couple of outside factors, such as: private insurance coverage or your personal prescribed dosage.
Not to worry though, because your clinician will be able to determine an accurate estimate of what the cost of your Zepbound treatments will be for you, when these other factors are taken into consideration.

Sub-copy: At Felix, we’re proud to provide secure online assessments for patients in Vancouver who are over the age of 18.
However, whether or not you’ll be eligible to get Zepbound orders online in Vancouver will depend on the personalized recommendations that are made for you by your practitioner during your virtual Zepbound consultation.
When deemed appropriate, your practitioner will be able to provide you with a prescription for Zepbound, as well as facilitate getting online orders of Zepbound in Vancouver through Felix and our pharmacy partners.
Sub-copy: Finding a practitioner who can prescribe Zepbound isn’t hard, because you’ve already found Felix. Our practitioners are able to prescribe these types of treatments, when they believe it’s an appropriate option for you.
The real question is whether or not Zepbound would be the right type of treatment for you, if an alternative could be a safer or potentially more effective option for you.
To find out, you’ll have to submit your short online assessment, so that one of our clinicians can review your health information to make informed treatment recommendations.
Sub-copy: You might be able to, but we can’t answer this generally, because like all medications, Zepbound would be right for everyone.
Start by submitting an assessment for one of our practitioners to evaluate, and then they’ll get back to you (usually within 24 hours), to go over their treatment suggestions with you and create a plan of action.
When it’s considered a good treatment option, you’ll be given a prescription so that you can get Zepbound orders in Vancouver through Felix.

Submit your secure online assessment for one of our clinicians to review. You can do this literally anytime – day or night – and from any convenient digital device. It only takes a few minutes to fill out.

For patients that are approved to get Zepbound in Vancouver, we can have our pharmacy partners prepare your treatments for you, which only takes around 2-3 business days.

Yes, Zepbound and tirzepatide are chemically the exact same thing. They contain the exact same active ingredient, which is tirzepatide.
The only real difference between them is their names, as Zepbound is a brand name, and tirzepatide is the generic name for this medication.
Instructions on how and where to effectively use your preloaded Zepbound injections will be explained to you during your virtual Zepbound consultation with your practitioner, as well as provided alongside your treatment packaging for reference purposes.
With that in mind, the recommended areas to use Zepbound injections include:
- Front of your abdomen (stomach)
- Upper thighs
- Upper arms
REMEMBER: Never inject Zepbound directly into veins or muscle, and never use expired, cloudy, or discoloured injections.
Also, you should be sure to never use frozen or previously frozen injections, as this can impact their efficacy and safety.
You’ll need to have a conversation with your practitioner, if you’re concerned about how long you may need to remain on your Zepbound treatments.
These types of medications are meant to be used for long periods of time, so it’s not something you can expect to stop taking in just a few months.
Many patients stay on Zepbound for years, or indefinitely, in order to maintain the effects of the treatments. If you’re considering stopping your Zepbound orders in Vancouver, be sure to submit a virtual Zepbound consultation request, so that your practitioner can walk you through what to expect post-treatment.

I recently moved to a smaller city in British Columbia. I had a family doctor in my last community but after moving I no longer have one. Felix Health has been a great resource. The clinicians are consistently kind, thoughtful, encouraging and clearly dedicated to making sure that my overall well-being is the focus – not just my physical self

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.
You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 48 hours of submission. Delays may occur at high volume periods or over statutory holidays – we thank you for your patience and look forward to supporting you.

Insurance
Treatment coverage varies greatly between different insurance plans.
The good news is that if you are covered, Felix can bill your insurer directly, and then process your treatment plan at no additional cost to you. We recommend that you upload your private and/or provincial benefit card during the online visit so that our pharmacy partner can apply any coverage you are eligible for before processing your treatment plan.
Insurance coverage for treatment plans through Felix doesn’t include the cost of your visit.
Go to Billing where you can add or update your insurance information on file.
You will find the official receipt for your medication costs within your package from the pharmacy. This receipt can be used to submit a manual claim directly to your insurance/benefits provider. Future refills will be direct-billed directly to your insurance provider, once you have uploaded your insurance information from the Billing tab of your account.
The coverage you are eligible for will not be deducted until the pharmacy processes your refill, so the price you see in your profile is the estimated maximum medication cost before benefits. Once the pharmacy ships your meds, the actual cost will be displayed for the respective refill.
OHIP+ covers some birth control for eligible residents of Ontario who are under 25 years old and do not have private insurance. You can check if your birth control medication is covered here. Make sure to upload your Ontario health card during your online visit so our pharmacy partners can apply your coverage directly.
Medication coverage varies greatly between different plans, provinces, and has specific criteria that determine eligibility. For private insurance, we recommend contacting your benefits administrator with your details and the Drug Identification Number (DIN) and the drug name to determine your coverage.

Felix 101
Absolutely. Our online assessments have been designed to ask all the necessary questions required for diagnosis. We’ve worked with specialists to create an assessment process that can provide sufficient information for the healthcare practitioner to determine whether or not you are eligible for a prescription and craft an appropriate treatment plan.
No. Felix provides a faster, hassle-free way for you to get a treatment plan for certain conditions, but our service does not replace your primary care provider. For matters that extend beyond obtaining a lifestyle treatment safely and easily, we encourage you to consult your primary health practitioner in person — whether for checkups, personal health concerns, or to inform them about your current treatments or treatment plans.
Call 911 or proceed to your nearest emergency room immediately. Felix is not intended for medical emergencies. Once the emergency has been addressed or resolved, contact your prescribing practitioner to inform them of your experience as this may impact your current treatment plan.
Felix is Canada’s first truly integrated healthcare platform. We provide on-demand treatment for everyday health needs like weight loss, mental health, sexual health, and more. Founded in 2019, our digital-first approach to healthcare includes everything from diagnosis to prescription — all accessible from the comfort of home.
Anyone who is 18 years or older (16 or older for acne and birth control prescriptions), and is located in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan or Ontario. We cannot ship treatments outside of these provinces at this time.
Our Healthcare Practitioners
You will have the ability to chat with your designated Felix practitioner for the entirety of your prescription length. When your prescription is nearing completion, we will email you to submit a checkup visit so one of our prescribers can renew your prescription.
Our matching system is based on availability, so we can’t guarantee you’ll be paired with the same healthcare practitioner at your renewal visit.
Felix practitioners are unable to make referrals at this time. We suggest you speak with your family doctor or local walk-in clinic.
Your Felix practitioner will message you via secure instant message. You’ll receive an email when you have a new message and can respond to these from within your Felix account.
Our medical team and board members help oversee each of our treatments to ensure our medical assessments are thorough, safe, personalized, and provide best-in-class care. Our pharmacists provide treatment support through medication counselling and education.
They are all licensed, real Canadian healthcare practitioners! All online visits submitted via Felix are reviewed by them and they must be licensed in your province to prescribe you the medication. It is these healthcare practitioners, and not Felix, who determine whether or not to write you a prescription, as well as the appropriate dosage (where applicable).
