Cost
What does this actually cost?
Numbers swing wildly online. Here are honest 2026 ranges. Your actual cost depends on insurance, prescriber, and which specific medication is right for you.
Insurance-covered (brand name)
$25 – $200 / month
Copay only. Requires a covered diagnosis (often type 2 diabetes). Coverage for weight management is improving but inconsistent.
Cash-pay brand name
$1,000 – $1,400 / month
Direct from pharmacy without insurance. Manufacturer savings cards may apply if you qualify.
Compounded (telemedicine)
$165 – $400 / month
Through licensed compounding pharmacies. FDA scrutiny has tightened — partner selection matters.
Ranges are general estimates as of 2026 and not a quote. Your provider and pharmacy will confirm pricing for your situation.
