New Integration with Gifthealth Simplifies Fulfillment and Medication Visibility for WeightWatchers Clinic Members

NEW YORK, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: WW) (“WeightWatchers,” “WW,” or the “Company”), the global leader in science-backed weight management, today announced a pharmacy integration with Eli Lilly and Company’s LillyDirect® pharmacy provider, . The integration will streamline access to Lilly’s FDA-approved Zepbound® (tirzepatide) single-dose vials for WeightWatchers Clinic members with an on-label prescription from their clinician.

As part of WeightWatchers’ holistic approach to weight management, the integration will streamline access to Zepbound® by offering a vial format for eligible Zepbound self-pay patients who do not have insurance coverage.

“Zepbound® is playing a transformative role in evidence-based weight management, and our integration with WeightWatchers helps ensure more people can access it conveniently,” said Robert Hoppe, EVP of Life Sciences, Gifthealth. “Through this integration, we’re enabling real-time prescription tracking, streamlined fulfillment, and transparent pricing—removing friction from the pharmacy experience so eligible members can focus on their health goals.”
