Safety & candidacy

Am I a good candidate for Zepbound?

Getting Started

Zepbound care with a weight-loss specialist

Zepbound is an FDA-approved prescription medication from Eli Lilly that activates the GIP and GLP-1 pathways. It is intended for chronic weight management in adults who meet clinical criteria.

Rivas provides the evaluation, prescription, and monthly medical supervision. You fill and pay for the medication separately at a pharmacy or through Lilly Direct, then self-administer the prescribed weekly dose at home.

Why get Zepbound through a weight-loss specialist?

A provider reviews your history, vitals, weight trend, symptoms, and goals rather than treating the visit as a refill transaction.

Your Options

Zepbound® vs. compounded tirzepatide at Rivas

Zepbound® (Brand-Name)

Zepbound is Eli Lilly’s brand-name tirzepatide for chronic weight management in eligible adults.

Compounded Tirzepatide

A provider administers vial-based medication during weekly clinic visits.

Ongoing Support

A plateau is a reason to review the plan

Weight trends can flatten as the body adapts. At monthly visits, your provider can review protein intake, activity, sleep, stress, tolerability, and the prescribed dose to determine an appropriate next step. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
