What is the typical cost of GLP-1 medications without insurance?

Without insurance coverage, GLP-1 medications typically range from $800 to $1,600 per month depending on the specific medication, dosage, and pharmacy. Ozempic and Mounjaro generally fall in the $900-$1,200 range, while Wegovy and Zepbound can reach $1,300-$1,600 monthly. These prices can vary by pharmacy, with some discount programs offering reduced rates.

Prices also fluctuate based on dosage requirements. Higher doses needed for weight management (such as Wegovy's 2.4mg or Ozempic's 2mg) often cost more than lower diabetes-focused doses. Additionally, some pharmacies may charge different prices for the same medication, so shopping around can sometimes save hundreds of dollars monthly.
