Verbatim response from Perplexity
Compounded semaglutide is typically about $200–$500 per month, while Wegovy is about $1,349 per month at list price and often $199–$349 per month with cash-discount programs or savings offers.[1][3][7]
A practical comparison:
| Option | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $200–$500[1] |
| Wegovy list price | $1,349[1][3] |
| Wegovy cash-discount/savings price | $199–$349[1][3][7] |
So, compounded semaglutide is usually much cheaper than Wegovy’s list price, but it can overlap with the lowest discounted Wegovy prices.[1][3][7]
A few important notes:
- Compounded semaglutide prices vary by pharmacy, dose, and fees, and some sources report lower starting offers, such as $70–$199 at certain telehealth providers.[5][8]
- Wegovy’s out-of-pocket cost depends heavily on insurance and savings-card eligibility; with coverage, some patients may pay as little as $0–$25, while others pay more.[1][3]
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved, unlike Wegovy.[2][7]
If you want, I can also break this down by insurance vs cash price or compare Wegovy vs Ozempic vs compounded semaglutide.
