What is
Zepbound
?

Zepbound is a medication that contains both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists.

Together, these ingredients are indicated for once-per-week use in helping patients who have overweight or obesity with their weight management plan.

If you want to learn more about Zepbound and how it works, click here to view the medication’s product monograph.

How does
Zepbound
work?

Zepbound prescriptions work by helping to regulate your appetite, and in turn, reduce caloric intake.

Specifically, GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists affect the areas of your brain that help regulate feelings of hunger, as well as cravings for food.

By reducing both appetite and the quantity of food being eaten, using Zepbound injections may be a beneficial part of your overall weight management plan.

‍

What is
Zepbound
used to treat?

Zepbound prescriptions are used to help patients that are living with overweight or obesity as part of their weight management plan, alongside a healthy diet, a calorie deficit, and regular exercise.

This includes individuals who have a BMI between 27-30 and are experiencing weight-related health concerns, or those who have a BMI of 30 or higher.

‍

How do you take
Zepbound
?

Zepbound injections are taken one time each week, and they should be taken on the same day, as well as around the same time each week.

Prescription Zepbound injections for weight loss will come in preloaded injector pens, which are to be taken subcutaneously (under the skin).

SIDE NOTE: You shouldn’t administer Zepbound injections for weight loss into either muscles or veins. Follow the dosing location instructions provided alongside your Zepbound prescription for more information.

Zepbound

What are the common side effects of
Zepbound
?

There are some patients who shouldn’t use prescription Zepbound medications, including (but not limited to):

  • Patients with an allergy to Zepbound medications or any of its ingredients
  • You or a family member has ever had Medullary Thyroid Cancer (MTC)
  • You’ve been diagnosed with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
  • Patients under the age of 18
  • Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding

You should also be sure to let your health care practitioner know if you:

  • Have a heart condition that raises your heart rate
  • Have stomach or digestive issues
  • Have or have had liver problems
  • Have  or have had kidney problems
  • Have ever attempted suicide or had suicidal ideation
  • Use insulin or medications that stimulate insulin production from your pancreas
  • Have or have had conditions related to your pancreas or gallbladder

You and your health care practitioner will need to decide if Zepbound is a good medication for you or if an alternative medication should be considered.

Who shouldn't take
Zepbound
?

What Should I Avoid While Taking Zepbound?

You should avoid dehydration. If you are experiencing nausea, vomiting or decreased intake, you are at risk of dehydration which can increase your chances of adverse health consequences like kidney problems. 

Changes in appetite may lead to some people not eating enough calories to sustain their bodies. It is important to continue to eat regularly, focusing on adequate amounts of healthy foods, getting enough protein and fiber, staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged periods without eating since this is important to your overall health while taking Zepbound. 

Zepbound can’t be taken while pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are planning to get pregnant, you need to stop taking it at least eight weeks beforehand.

‍

Will Zepbound Interact with My Current Medications or Supplements?

At this time, there are no known direct drug interactions with Zepbound medications, although it may affect the absorption of medications.  

As with any new treatment, it’s essential that you let your practitioner know all of the other treatments, medications, or supplements that you’re currently using, so that your practitioner can ensure your overall weight management plan remains safe and healthy.

Zepbound may reduce the effectiveness of oral birth control, so you may be advised to switch to non-oral birth control or use a backup method while taking Zepbound.

Zepbound may increase the risk of getting low blood sugar when combined with diabetes medicines known as sulfonylurea or insulin. Speak to your practitioner about managing the dosage of your medication while taking Zepbound.

Additionally, you should be cautious with taking Zepbound at the same time as medications (prescription and over-the-counter) that can increase your heart rate.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose of Zepbound?

If it’s been 4 days (96 hours) or less since the time that you would normally have taken your Zepbound injection, you should take the injection at that time, then inject your next dose on your usual day

More than 96 hours after the missed dose, you should skip the missed dose, and simply take the next one at its normal scheduled time.

‍

Is There a Difference Between Zepbound, Tirzapatide & Mounjaro?

From an ingredient standpoint, there is no difference between Zepbound, Tirzepatide, and Mounjaro. They all contain the same active ingredients.

The generic name for this medication is Tirzepatide, while the brand names for Tirzepatide are Zepbound and Mounjaro.

Frequently asked questions

Zepbound

What other names is Zepbound sold under?

The generic name for this medication is Tirzepatide, so you may see medications being sold under that name.

Also, Mounjaro is another injectable medication like Zepbound that contains Tirzepatide. All of these medications contain the same active ingredients, but they may be indicated for different uses.

‍

Is Zepbound available over-the-counter?

No, currently in Canada, Zepbound is not available over-the-counter. This means you’ll need to be evaluated by a licensed healthcare practitioner in order to be prescribed Zepbound in Canada, so they can ensure it’s right for you, based on your health and medical conditions.

Felix is making this process quick, seamless, and accessible for patients in Canada to get Zepbound online from the comfort and privacy of your own home, through our secure, chat-based online assessment platform.

Just complete a short online assessment to get started, and if your assigned healthcare practitioner believes that Zepbound could be a beneficial part of your treatment plan, they’ll be able to prescribe it for you.

‍

Is Zepbound covered by insurance in Canada?

Some insurance plans do cover Zepbound, however this question should be asked to your insurance representative directly, since they’ll have all the applicable details about your existing benefits and what they require for coverage. Sometimes special forms are required to be completed for coverage.

We’d suggest gathering the information about your Zepbound insurance coverage, prior to making your request with Felix. This way, you can provide this information to your assigned practitioner during the assessment. The Felix pharmacy can even bill your insurer directly for you to save you the hassle!

The same issue exists for provincial health benefits, because each province will offer a different set of benefits, under unique guidelines for eligibility.

We’d suggest taking a little time to read about Understanding Insurance, so that you can determine whether Zepbound coverage may be available in your region, as well as whether you could be eligible.

It's important to note that insurance coverage for medications through Felix doesn't include the cost of your assessment.

How can I get a Zepbound prescription online in Canada through Felix?

You may be able to, but before you can access these types of medications, like Zepbound, you’ll need to get assessed by a licensed healthcare practitioner - like those at Felix.

It only takes a few minutes to fill out your assessment, and one of our practitioners will usually get back to you quickly about  your request, often within 48 hours.

If they think that getting Zepbound could be beneficial to your treatment plan, they can prescribe it for you. 

Also, our pharmacy partners will be happy to fill and deliver your Zepbound, at no extra cost to you (excludes the cost of treatment). Your treatment can also be picked up from a local pharmacy if you prefer.

Can I buy Zepbound online in Canada?

You may be able to, but first, you’ll have to get your current health, and medical history evaluated by a licensed healthcare practitioner.

With Felix, you can do this anytime - day or night - whenever it makes sense for your schedule.

Once you’ve been assessed, if your assigned practitioner thinks that Zepbound injections could be right for you, they’ll be able to write you a prescription.

Plus, Felix’s pharmacy partners can deliver your online Zepbound medication (and refills) in Canada discreetly to your doorstep - at no extra cost!

Who is eligible for online visits and Zepbound prescriptions through Felix?

Anyone who lives in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or Ontario in Canada and is over the age of 18 can request an online visit through Felix.

Online Zepbound prescriptions are offered on a patient-by-patient basis, after the practitioner determines whether or not they think Zepbound could be a beneficial part of your treatment plan.

Felix 101

What is Felix?

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.

Does Felix replace my doctor?

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.

Can I be accurately assessed remotely?

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.

It's an emergency. What do I do?

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.

Who can use Felix?

Anyone who is 18 years or older 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.

Online Visits

How does the visit work?

After creating an account, you will complete a medical assessment for evaluation by one of the Felix healthcare practitioners. 

During your assessment, you will have the opportunity to send your practitioner questions via secure messaging.  

In most cases, practitioners will complete your assessment with secure messaging alone but sometimes they may determine you require an audio or video visit and/or further diagnostic testing to help determine the best treatment plan for you. 

If your practitioner has determined a prescription treatment is appropriate, they will approve your visit and write you a prescription. Our pharmacy will then ship your prescription to your home.

You’ll be able to message your healthcare practitioner if you have questions or want to make changes to your treatment at any time.

Do I need to complete my online visit at a scheduled time?

No. We use an asynchronous telemedicine model so you can complete your online visit in your own time and we save your progress so you can come back later to finish it.

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

Does the online visit require a phone or video appointment?

Most assessments do not require a phone or video conversation. Once a prescriber has reviewed the info in your assessment they will respond to you via secure instant messages that you can access within your Felix account.  

If you are completing a visit in the mental health or weight loss categories, your healthcare practitioner may require a phone or video call to discuss your medical profile further during the assessment process.

How quickly will a healthcare practitioner review my online visit?

You can expect to receive a response from a healthcare practitioner within 24 hours of submission. If you’ve been waiting longer than this, please email hello@felixforyou.ca and we’ll look into it.

Can I just get the treatment and skip the online visit?

No. A visit with a licensed healthcare practitioner is required for all treatments currently provided through Felix’s service.

Shipping

How long will it take to get my treatment?

Not long. After completing your assessment, a practitioner will generally respond within 24 hours, and often much sooner.

Treatment plans will be processed within 2-3 business days of your approval date if there is nothing blocking fulfillment.

All packages are shipped via Express Post, which usually takes 2-3 business days. You will receive an email with your tracking number once your treatment has been shipped.

Is your packaging discreet?

Absolutely. All Felix shipments arrive in a nondescript blister package so you can have your treatment shipped wherever makes sense for you as long as there is someone there to sign for it.

Do I have to be home to receive my package?

A signature upon delivery may be required.

How much does it cost to ship my treatment?

There is currently no cost to have your treatment shipped to you from our Felix Pharmacy network.

Privacy and Security

Is my information private and secure?

Yes, your security is paramount to Felix’s mission. Personal health information provided during your medical assessment is strictly and legally confidential between you and the Felix healthcare practitioner.

Beyond that, all your account information (including the medical assessment, credit card, and shipping information, etc.) is also stored safely and securely. Felix is compliant with all federal and provincial health privacy legislation. It is our duty to protect your data with comprehensive security infrastructure and stringent data policies to ensure it stays private and secure.

Read more on our Privacy Policy.

Is this legal?

Yes! In Canada, only a licensed healthcare practitioner can write a prescription, and only a registered pharmacist can fill that prescription. We are supported by leaders in the Canadian pharmacology and specialized medical fields. Felix adheres strictly to all the regulations set forth by all applicable Colleges of Pharmacists and Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons in which we operate.

Is this safe?

Absolutely. All prescriptions obtained via Felix are provided by licensed Canadian healthcare practitioners—the same as you would get at a hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic. These practitioners do not provide prescriptions unless they deem it medically safe and appropriate to write them based on your medical profile and assessment answers. Our assessments have been crafted by the practitioners on our medical team. Finally, all Felix Pharmacies are provincially accredited just like any retail pharmacy.

How is my privacy protected?

Your privacy is our top priority. All your data is 256 bit SSL/TLS encrypted, and we take significant steps to keep your data secure. You can read our Privacy Policy for more information. 

Pricing and Payment

How much is the online visit?

Felix charges a fee for the online visit. In most cases the fee is $40 but varies by treatment category. The visit fee includes a prescription valid for up to a year (depending on the condition) and on-going support from the healthcare practitioner or pharmacist.

How much will my treatment cost?

It depends. Treatment costs vary but will be in line with what you would pay at a pharmacy in person. You will see the estimated cost of your treatment before insurance, during the online visit but will only be billed for medication costs for your prescription once it is approved and sent to our pharmacy. Once approved, your treatment and payment will be processed within one to two days.

Keep in mind that you won’t necessarily need to pay the full price yourself. If you have insurance, Felix’s partner pharmacies will bill your insurer directly. You may also be eligible for financial support in your province.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards for any aspect of your treatment not covered by insurance or other financial support

Insurance

Am I covered by my 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.

‍

Is the online visit covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

A Felix online visit is considered asynchronous since it is conveniently completed through a secure chat bases system. Currently, asynchronous visits are not covered by insurance or provincial health plans so you will be charged a visit fee, depending on the category of treatment you are requesting.

Is the medication covered by my insurance or provincial health plans?

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.
