Semaglutide, found in Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus, is an effective ingredient used in weight loss medications. However, these brand-name medications come with a high price tag. Let’s discuss the current prices for these medications and explore a more affordable alternative.
As of February 2024, Wegovy’s approximate price through retail pharmacies ranges from $1,300 to $1,400 per month. Ozempic and Rybelsus have a similar price range of approximately $950 to $1,000 per month. These prices are without insurance coverage.
If you have insurance, you might be able to get these medications at a lower cost. However, it’s important to note that not all insurances cover off-label prescriptions or medications for weight loss. Contact your insurance provider to see if this option is available to you.
Even if your insurance covers the retail medication, finding a pharmacy with these medications in stock can be challenging. Many Semaglutide brand medications are currently on the FDA shortages list, making them difficult to obtain.
One alternative to consider is compounded Semaglutide medications. Compounding pharmacies have the ability to make retail medications, including those on the FDA shortages list, to ensure patients can continue their prescribed treatments. Moreover, compounded medications may be more affordable.
It’s important to ensure that the compounding pharmacy utilizes the same active ingredient and chemical as the brand-name medications. At Strut Health, we offer compounded Semaglutide medications with pricing examples such as Injectable Semaglutide starting at $289 for a one-month supply and Oral Semaglutide Lozenges starting at $199 for a one-month supply. These medications are not the brand-name counterparts, but they provide a cost-effective solution.
At Strut Health, we prioritize your safety and convenience. We work with U.S.-licensed doctors and U.S.-licensed compounding pharmacies through our secure telehealth platform to deliver pharmaceutical compounds to you. Our Semaglutide medications are a new addition to our offerings and can serve as a reliable source during the shortage while potentially saving you money.
