Nurx Collaborates with Gifthealth for Enhanced Access to Zepbound®

In a significant development for women's health, Nurx, a prominent telehealth platform known for its focus on women's health services, has announced an integration agreement with Gifthealth, the LillyDirect® pharmacy provider from Eli Lilly. This collaboration aims to simplify the prescription process for Zepbound® (tirzepatide) single-dose vials, making it easier for qualifying Nurx patients to receive treatment for chronic weight management.

Over 66% of women in the U.S. over 20 years old struggle with obesity and being overweight, posing significant health risks as they age. Approximately 11.5% of these women experience severe obesity—this rate notably surpasses that of men. The health implications tied to obesity are grave, including heightened risks of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, not to mention complications during pregnancy. This makes addressing weight issues critical to enhancing women's overall health. However, research shows that only 10% of adults facing obesity actually achieve a yearly weight loss of 5% or more, underscoring the difficulty in maintaining weight loss.

Recognizing these challenges, Nurx is resolute in its mission to provide effective, evidence-based solutions to women grappling with weight management. The integration with Gifthealth promotes easier access to Zepbound®, an FDA-approved medication for chronic weight management, for patients with qualifying prescriptions from Nurx-affiliated providers. This collaboration exemplifies Nurx's commitment to empowering women by equipping them with the resources necessary to meet their health goals.

As the demand for medications like Zepbound® increases, Nurx is determined to continue offering comprehensive telehealth services aimed at supporting women with weight management. Collaborating with Gifthealth enables Nurx patients to achieve streamlined access to Zepbound® vials while also benefiting from transparent pricing and nationwide delivery, all of which are crucial in making obesity treatment more accessible.

Rajani Rao, the Chief Business Officer at Nurx, affirmed, "At Nurx, we believe every woman should have access to healthcare solutions that fit their needs—including safe and effective weight management medications. This agreement with Gifthealth will eliminate unnecessary barriers, ensuring women obtain the medication they require while benefiting from our holistic approach to weight management, which includes ongoing access to physicians and support for lifestyle changes."

Gifthealth is known for its innovative approach to prescription fulfillment. This new partnership with Nurx aims to streamline the prescription process for weight management treatments while reinforcing both companies’ missions to deliver high-quality, affordable care. Robert Hoppe, EVP of Life Sciences at Gifthealth, expressed excitement about the agreement, stating, "Working with providers like Nurx allows us to enhance access to authentic Zepbound® vials for women across the nation. Our objective is to eliminate cost and logistical obstacles to essential medications, helping to broaden the scope of patients who receive the care they need."
