Zepbound Now Available in Canada: What U.S. Patients Need to Know
Zepbound Now Available in Canada: What U.S. Patients Need to Know
With the recent approval and release of Zepbound in Canada, many Americans now have a more affordable and accessible option for managing weight loss and type 2 diabetes. If you’ve been following the rise of GLP-1 receptor agonists like Mounjaro and Wegovy, you’ll be excited to learn that Zepbound (tirzepatide) is now available as a brand-name pen in Canada — and it’s a game changer for U.S. patients who prefer pens over vials.
What is Zepbound, and How Is It Different from Mounjaro?
Zepbound and Mounjaro are actually the same drug — both contain tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly. The primary difference is their approved use.
Mounjaro was first approved for type 2 diabetes.
Zepbound was later approved specifically for chronic weight management.
Both products are available as once-weekly injections, and until now, U.S. patients preferring the weight-loss indication (Zepbound) were limited to expensive, often backordered options.
The good news? Zepbound is now being sold in Canada in the same convenient prefilled KwikPens — and it’s available at a much lower price than in the U.S.
Why Zepbound in Canada Matters for U.S. Patients
With U.S. pharmacies still experiencing shortages and manufacturers charging upwards of $1,200 USD per box, the Canadian release of Zepbound opens new doors for American patients. Through online prescription referral services like Over the Border Meds, you can now order Zepbound pens from Canada at significantly reduced prices, often under $799 USD per box.
This option is especially useful for Americans who:
Have a prescription for Zepbound
Prefer pens over vials (which were previously more common in Canadian inventory)
Want to save money without relying on U.S. insurance or coupons
Are microdosing tirzepatide and want the flexibility of click-counting on a pen
Zepbound KwikPens vs Vials: Why Pens Are a Preferred Option
Many U.S. patients previously turned to Canada for Mounjaro vials, which required drawing up each dose with a syringe. But with Zepbound pens now available, it’s easier and more comfortable to stay on track with weekly injections.
Zepbound KwikPens:
Are prefilled and disposable
Provide 4 weekly doses per pen
Are easier to use than vials
Can be used with a click-counting method to microdose, making each pen last longer and saving even more money
If you’re not sure how to adjust or calculate clicks, the pharmacists at Over the Border Meds can help guide you through the process.

Ordering from Canada is surprisingly easy. Here’s how it works through a service like Over the Border Meds:
