Patients will be able to access Eli Lilly's weight loss drug Zepbound at Walmart pharmacies nationwide through its direct-to-consumer program as soon as next month.
The partnership between Eli Lilly and Company and Walmart, announced Wednesday, will allow people with a valid prescription to pick up single-dose vials of Zepbound at Walmart pharmacies nationwide or opt for home delivery.
Both are enabled through Eli Lilly's direct-to-consumer platform, LillyDirect.
Lily's direct-to-consumer platform, which launched in early 2024, is the company's solution to improve the affordability and availability of the blockbuster drug because it allows some consumers to buy medicines directly from Eli Lilly without going through insurance.
