Getting GLP-1 Medications in Singapore: Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy (2026)

Singapore has clear access to GLP-1 medications, but the pathway is almost entirely private. There is no government subsidy for GLP-1 medications used for weight management in Singapore. All three major GLP-1 medications are HSA-approved and available — the question is cost and eligibility for your specific situation.

GLP-1 Coverage in Singapore at a Glance

Costs are approximate private prescription prices as of 2026 and vary by dose, pharmacy, and clinic. CDMP eligibility requires a confirmed T2DM diagnosis.

How Singapore's System Works for GLP-1 Medications

Singapore does not have a blanket public subsidy for GLP-1 medications used for weight management. Access works through two distinct pathways:

For type 2 diabetes (subsidised pathway): Singapore's Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) covers certain diabetes medications at subsidised rates through polyclinics and CHAS-enrolled GP clinics. If Ozempic is prescribed for T2DM management, a portion of the cost may be claimable through Medisave or subsidised under CHAS, depending on your income tier and clinic type. Confirm with your prescriber whether your specific prescription qualifies.

For weight management (private pathway): If you are seeking a GLP-1 for obesity management without a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, private prescription is the only route. This applies to Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic prescribed for weight loss. There is no government subsidy for this indication.

Ozempic in Singapore

Ozempic (semaglutide) is HSA-registered in Singapore for type 2 diabetes management. For T2DM patients, it may be accessible at subsidised rates through polyclinics or CHAS-enrolled clinics under CDMP, subject to eligibility criteria including confirmed diagnosis and HbA1c levels above target.

For weight management without a T2DM diagnosis, Ozempic is available via private prescription only.

Singapore experienced Ozempic supply constraints during 2023-2024, in line with global shortages. As of 2026, supply has largely stabilised, though availability of specific dose strengths can vary by pharmacy.

For T2DM (CDMP-eligible): Potentially subsidised via CDMP/Medisave — check with your polyclinic or GP

How to Get a GLP-1 Prescription in Singapore

For type 2 diabetes (potential CDMP subsidy):

1. See your GP or polyclinic doctor with a confirmed T2DM diagnosis and recent HbA1c
2. Your doctor assesses whether a GLP-1 is appropriate and eligible under CDMP
3. If eligible, the prescription may be partially covered through Medisave or CHAS
4. Dispensed from the clinic pharmacy or a registered retail pharmacy

For weight management (private prescription):

1. Book with a GP, weight management specialist, or telehealth platform
2. Discuss your BMI, weight history, and any related conditions
3. If clinically appropriate, a private prescription is issued
4. Dispensed at full private cost from any registered pharmacy

Singapore has a well-developed private healthcare infrastructure for weight management. Private clinics and telehealth platforms including Doctor Anywhere, WhiteCoat, and dedicated weight management centres offer GLP-1 prescriptions with ongoing support. Some offer all-inclusive monthly plans covering consultation, prescription, and medication delivery.

Tracking Your GLP-1 Protocol in Singapore

Weekly GLP-1 injections involve a titration schedule and ongoing monitoring of weight, side effects, and for T2DM patients, blood glucose. Regimen supports Ozempic and Mounjaro tracking with injection reminders, titration calendars, weight logging, and Apple Health / Google Health Connect integration.
