GLP-1 cost calculator
Four questions. Your cheapest legitimate path, computed from the same dataset that powers the True-Cost Index — listed prices as of 2026-09-04, required fees included.
Common questions#
What is the cheapest FDA-approved GLP-1 for weight loss?#
NovoCare Pharmacy at $149 a month for Wegovy (1.5 mg), with no membership fee. That is a month-to-month price, listed on 2026-09-04 and not yet checkout-verified by us. Ozempic is excluded from this tool: it is approved for type 2 diabetes, not weight loss.
Are compounded GLP-1s cheaper than the brand-name versions?#
On price, yes: the cheapest compounded channel we track is Mochi Health at $139 a month against $149 for the cheapest brand route, a difference of $10 a month. They are not equivalent products. A compounded formulation is not FDA-reviewed as formulated, and the pharmacy compounding it matters — which is why the wizard asks before it ranks rather than mixing the two together.
Pricing journalism, not medical advice — which medication (if any) fits you is a clinician conversation. Listed prices from provider pages as of 2026-09-04; the provider's checkout is the final word.
