Just how much do Semaglutide medications cost? Learn about the average retail costs of Semaglutide medications.
Semaglutide is the active pharmaceutical ingredient inside of the brand-name medications Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus.
These medications have been popular in the news and social media due the their ability to help people lose weight – but also because of their high price tag.
Below, we will outline the current (Feb 2024) approximate prices for these brand-name medications, as well as let you know what the prices can be if Semaglutide medications are made in a compounding pharmacy.
The current (Feb 2024) approximate price of Wegovy through retail pharmacies might be somewhere in the range of approximately $1,300 to $1,400 per month.
The current (Feb 2024) approximate price of Ozempic through retail pharmacies might be somewhere in the range of approximately $950 to $1,000 per month.
The current (Feb 2024) approximate price of Rybelsus through retail pharmacies might be somewhere in the range of approximately $950 to $1,000 per month.
Some people may find that they are able to get these retail Semaglutide medications cheaper through their insurance. However, it is important to keep in mind that not all insurances will cover medications prescribed off-label or for weight loss. Talk to your insurance to see if this may be an option for you.
Another thing to consider is that even if your insurance does cover the retail medication, you may have trouble finding a pharmacy with these medications in stock. Many Semaglutide brand medications are currently on the FDA shortages list and may be difficult to obtain at the moment.
Compounding pharmacies may be a route to get a Semaglutide medication that you have been prescribed, if your prescription is written to be compounded.
Compounding pharmacies are allowed to make retail medications that are on the FDA shortages list in order to help people continue on their prescribed treatments. And, you may even find that these medications end up being decently less expensive too.
While these medications are not the brand name counterparts, you can find compounding pharmacies working with the same active ingredient that can make it into medications. (Just be sure to avoid any pharmacy working with different salt forms of Semaglutide, you want the identical chemical.)
