What the price covers
A cash price can cover the drug only, or the drug plus the doctor visit, shipping and follow-ups. Some prices need auto-refill or a prepaid plan of three to twelve months. Compare the month you will actually pay, at the dose you will be on in month three, not the first-month offer.
Compounded or brand-name
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are made by a pharmacy and cost a fraction of the brand-name drug. Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound now sell direct from the makers at a cash price, which is the route if you want the approved product without insurance.
