Where to Find It Cheapest
Best options ranked:
-
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) – Not currently available here, but worth checking as they expand GLP-1 access
-
GoodRx – Can bring cost down to ~$1,200–$1,350 at some pharmacies; free to use at goodrx.com
-
Novo Nordisk's Patient Assistance Program – If you earn under ~$150K/year, you may qualify for free or heavily discounted Wegovy directly from the manufacturer
-
Hims & Hers / Ro / Noom Med – Offer compounded semaglutide (similar active ingredient) for $200–$500/month, though compounded versions aren't FDA-approved as brand-name Wegovy
-
Costco Pharmacy – Often has competitive pricing, worth calling locally
Key Tips
- Novo Nordisk savings card can reduce cost to ~$0–$650/month for eligible commercially insured patients
- Always compare prices at GoodRx.com across local pharmacies
- Compounded semaglutide is significantly cheaper but carries more regulatory uncertainty
