What is Ozempic’s list price per month in 2025 and 2026?
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks prescription drug pricing information and helps users find current list-price and pricing-history details for specific products. For Ozempic (semaglutide), the monthly “list price” can vary by dose strength and package size, so the most reliable way to confirm the exact monthly list price for a given time period is to check the dose-specific pricing listed for 2025 and 2026. [1]
If you tell me which Ozempic strength you mean (e.g., 0.25/0.5 mg, 1 mg, or 2 mg), I can help interpret the monthly cost from the package-size pricing shown for that dose.
Does “list price” mean the same as what patients pay?
No. Ozempic’s list price is the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) style figure often reported as the “list” number, while what patients pay can be much lower or higher depending on:
- Insurance coverage and formulary tier
- Pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) pricing
- Manufacturer savings cards (when eligible)
- Medicare coverage rules and patient benefit structure
- State Medicaid rules
Because of those variables, list price is mainly useful for comparing the drug’s published price over time, not for predicting out-of-pocket costs.
Why the monthly number changes between Ozempic doses
Ozempic is sold in dose-escalation and maintenance pen presentations. The monthly effective cost depends on:
- Which pen strength you’re using (starter vs maintenance)
- How many pens are in the box
- How your prescribed dosing maps to pen volume and weeks of supply
That’s why “monthly list price” is typically reported for a specific dose/months-of-supply assumption rather than as one universal number for all patients. [1]
