GLP Chart does not enroll anyone, is not paid for clinical-trial referrals and has no relationship with any sponsor or site on this page.

Screening for a study can take weeks. If you need the drug now, Strut Health is the cheapest cash route on the chart, from $149 a month. That price buys compounded semaglutide, a pharmacy-made version that is not FDA-approved and is not Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro.
