What Wegovy does, beyond the scale

See every price

The most-prescribed weight-loss GLP-1

Semaglutide is the molecule most US programs are built around, which is why the board below is deeper for it than for any brand except its compounded form.

A pill, not only a pen

Wegovy self-pays cheaper as a tablet than as an injection: $149/mo at 1.5 mg and 4 mg against $349/mo for the standard pen.*

Second to tirzepatide, head to head

In SURMOUNT-5, semaglutide produced 13.7% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against tirzepatide's 20.2%. It works; the other molecule worked better in that trial.*

Wegovy carries a boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumor risk and should not be combined with other GLP-1 medicines. The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation. This is a prescription drug: whether it is right for you is a conversation with a licensed clinician, not a price table.

Is Wegovy the right price for you?

Same appetite pathway, very different needles, prices, and evidence. Every column links to its live prices.

Worth knowing before you buy: Compounded semaglutide starts at $69/mo, $139 less than Wegovy on the same appetite pathway. Different medicine, different evidence, real saving.

Your dose will climb.So will the bill.

Starting low isn’t a trick, it’s clinical practice: it eases the side effects in. But the advertised price is the starting-dose price. Budget for the tier you’ll maintain on, not the one you start on.

Dose prices are the manufacturer’s published self-pay ladder, including the $299 offer that applies automatically at 14.5 mg and above while refills stay inside its 45-day window; the seller price is the one we last verified. Nobody can promise a price holds for a year, and how fast anyone climbs doses is a clinical decision, which is why both are controls here and not claims.

Wegovy: the questions this page raises

Side effectsWegovy side effectsWegovy's side effects are semaglutide's side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, worst in the first weeks and after each dose increase. What makes Wegovy different from Ozempic is not the molecule but the destination. Wegovy is dosed for weight management, climbing to 2.4 mg with a 7.2 mg high-dose strength above it, and dose is the main driver of how pronounced the gastrointestinal effects get. It also carries a boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumour risk. One useful fact while you decide whether to push through: Novo's self-pay price is flat across every pen dose, so a slower climb costs a brand patient nothing.7 min · checked Aug 27 What it costsWegovy weight loss pillsWegovy is now sold as a daily tablet as well as a weekly injection, and the tablet self-pays cheaper. Novo's published prices run $149 a month at 1.5 mg, $199 at 4 mg and $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg. The 4 mg figure is mid-change: Novo's savings page still shows $149 with an offer expiring 31 August 2026, while its own pharmacy page already lists $199. There are also three different semaglutide pills on the market now, which is the thing most pages about this have not caught up with.7 min · checked Aug 27 What it costsDoes Medicaid cover Ozempic or Wegovy?For type 2 diabetes, effectively yes everywhere: state Medicaid programmes must cover FDA-approved drugs for medically accepted indications, so Ozempic and Mounjaro are covered for blood sugar, almost always behind prior authorisation. For obesity it is a patchwork. As of January 2026 only 13 state Medicaid programmes covered GLP-1s for weight under fee-for-service. That is changing: CMS's BALANCE model opened to state Medicaid programmes on 1 May 2026 with no out-of-pocket cost for beneficiaries, but joining is voluntary for each state.6 min · checked Aug 28
