Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound are sold in most major markets, but who pays, and how much, depends on the country. In the US it runs through insurance, the makers’ self-pay pharmacies or Medicare. Elsewhere it runs through a national health system, a state-subsidised list or a private prescription. Each country below links to its own guide with current prices.
United States
What’s available: Ozempic (semaglutide, diabetes), Wegovy (semaglutide, obesity), Mounjaro (tirzepatide, diabetes), Zepbound (tirzepatide, obesity), and the Wegovy pill and Foundayo for weight loss. All FDA-approved.
Without insurance: the manufacturers sell self-pay. Zepbound through LillyDirect from $299 a month (KwikPen or vials), Wegovy and Ozempic pens through NovoCare Pharmacy from $199 a month for new patients’ first two fills, then from $349, and the Wegovy pill from $149 (US dollars, manufacturer pages, last checked October 19, 2026). Commercially insured patients with coverage can pay as little as $25 a month with the manufacturer savings cards, and Medicare’s GLP-1 Bridge covers Wegovy, Foundayo and the Zepbound KwikPen for weight loss at $50 a month from July 2026.
Compounded GLP-1: the FDA ended the shortage exemption that allowed compounding of copies of semaglutide and tirzepatide. See the compounded GLP-1 guide for current status.
