Managing high cholesterol often means taking Zetia (generic name: ezetimibe) consistently. The problem is not just remembering your dose every day, but also keeping your prescription active and affordable.
That is where PonteVita Rx and Cost Plus Drugs make things easier.
Below, we explain step by step how to secure a 1-year prescription through PonteVita Rx and then order your Zetia at the best price through Cost Plus Drugs.
Step 1: Get Zetia online through PonteVita Rx
Before you can order Zetia, you need a valid prescription. We help you skip the long waits at the doctor’s office by handling this process online. Their telehealth approach allows you to get a 1-year prescription refill if you meet eligibility requirements.
- First, you start by scheduling an appointment online. When booking, you will see different appointment types based on health conditions. Since Zetia is used for high cholesterol, you must select “Existing Refill Evaluation – High Cholesterol”. This appointment lasts about 15 minutes and can be done by video call or phone call through their secure platform.
- Once you book, you will be asked to complete a set of health forms and questionnaires. These forms help the PonteVita medical team review your health history, current medications, and cholesterol management plan. Accuracy here is important, since it tells the provider whether you qualify for a 1-year prescription refill.
- After submitting the forms, a licensed doctor will meet with you through a video consultation. During this meeting, the doctor may ask about your cholesterol levels, any side effects from Zetia, and whether your condition has been stable. If you meet the requirements, the provider will authorize a prescription refill for up to 12 months.
- Finally, we will send the prescription electronically to the pharmacy of your choice. Since they are licensed in all 50 states, you can choose where to send it, whether local or online. Many patients pair this with Cost Plus Drugs for the most affordable option.
Eligibility
Not everyone qualifies for a 1-year prescription. To be eligible through PonteVita Rx, you must:
- Be stable on Zetia for at least one year.
- Have no major recent changes in your cholesterol medication plan.
- Continue to see your primary care provider for annual check-ups, blood work, and screenings.
- Be an adult patient (PonteVita does not treat children).
- Not need controlled or high-risk medications.
If you are safely established on Zetia and your cholesterol has been managed without recent complications, you are very likely to qualify.
Pricing
We use a flat subscription fee model. You pay for the service of prescription renewal, not for the medication itself. Here’s the breakdown:
| Number of medications | Cost per month | Annual cost |
| 1–2 | $10 | $120 |
| 3–4 | $15 | $180 |
| 5 | $20 | $240 |
Note: This fee does not include the actual cost of Zetia or any other medication. It only covers your online prescription management and unlimited messaging with your care team.
Step 2: Order through Cost Plus Drugs
Once PonteVita Rx provides your Zetia prescription, the next step is filling it at the lowest possible cost. This is where Cost Plus Drugs becomes an excellent option. Their transparent pricing model ensures you pay close to the actual manufacturing cost without hidden markups.
