What is Mounjaro’s wholesale (WAC) price?
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) wholesale pricing is commonly discussed using the list price known as WAC (Wholesale Acquisition Cost). This figure is set by the manufacturer and can differ from what plans, pharmacies, and wholesalers actually pay after rebates and discounts.
I can’t provide a specific current wholesale number here because the exact WAC depends on the specific NDC/package strength and the most recent price update.
How can I find the current wholesale price for Mounjaro?
To get the latest wholesale/list pricing by strength (for example, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, etc.), the most reliable approach is to look up WAC using a drug-pricing database for the exact product/strength or consult price listings that track manufacturer updates.

Why “wholesale price” isn’t the same as what buyers actually pay
Even when you identify Mounjaro’s wholesale/list price, the amount different groups pay can be materially lower due to:
- Pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) rebates and negotiated discounts
- Insurer contracts and formulary placement
- Different handling of branded versus specialty distribution channels
- Patient-specific factors like coverage, copays, and manufacturer programs
So two people can see very different “prices” even if the same wholesale/list price is the starting point.
Does wholesale pricing vary by dose/pen strength?
Yes. Mounjaro is sold in multiple dose strengths, and the wholesale/list price generally varies by the specific NDC and package size.
What to check if you’re doing procurement or comparing suppliers
If you’re asking for a “wholesale price” for purchasing or comparison, you’ll typically need:
- The exact dose/strength and package size (NDC)
- Whether the price you need is WAC, a contracted wholesaler price, or a net price after rebates
- Whether shipping, cold-chain handling (if applicable), and fees are included
If you tell me the dose, I can help you pinpoint the right number
If you share the Mounjaro strength (e.g., 5 mg or 10 mg) and the package size/NDC (if you have it), I can guide you to the most relevant wholesale/list-price lookup target for that exact product.
