Wegovy Cost Without Insurance
Standard retail price: $1,300–$1,650 per month (for the maintenance dose of 2.4mg weekly).
Where to Find It Cheapest
Best options ranked by cost:
- Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com)
- Semaglutide (compounded) has been available significantly cheaper, sometimes $200–$500/month, though availability varies
- Hims & Hers / Ro Body
- Offer compounded semaglutide (not brand-name Wegovy) for roughly $200–$400/month
- Convenient telehealth + prescription bundled
- Amazon Pharmacy + GoodRx
- Can reduce brand-name cost somewhat, but still typically $1,100–$1,400/month
- Novo Nordisk's Patient Assistance Program
- If you qualify (income-based), you may get it free or very low cost
- Check WegovyCare.com
Important Notes
- Compounded semaglutide is cheaper but is NOT FDA-approved Wegovy — quality can vary
- The FDA has noted Wegovy shortages are resolving, which may affect compounded options
- Always use a licensed pharmacy and legitimate telehealth provider
