Without insurance, brand-name GLP-1 medications usually cost about $900 to $1,400 per month, with many commonly cited retail prices around $1,000+ for drugs like Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, and Ozempic.[1][3][4][7][16]
If you’re looking for lower cash-pay options, some manufacturer self-pay programs and telehealth/compounding options are reported in the $149 to $499 per month range, depending on the drug, dose, and whether it’s an FDA-approved brand-name product or a compounded version.[1][2][5][8][12][15]
A practical breakdown:
- Brand-name retail: about $900–$1,400/month.[1][3][4][7]
- Manufacturer self-pay programs: often about $149–$499/month for selected doses/forms.[5][8][15]
- Compounded GLP-1s: often about $129–$199/month, sometimes higher depending on provider and dosing.[2][4]
