Wegovy is a prescription medication used for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition. It is a once-weekly injection that contains semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist that works by reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness.

The cost of Wegovy can vary depending on several factors such as insurance coverage, pharmacy location, and dosage strength. According to GoodRx [2], the average retail price for Wegovy 2.4 mg/0.5 mL is around $1,297.14 for a supply of 4 pens, which is a 4-week dose. However, the price can be reduced by using a Wegovy savings card, which can save up to $150 per prescription. Patients can get the savings card by visiting the official Wegovy website [3].

Drug Patent Watch [1] also provides some information about the pricing of Wegovy. According to their data, the wholesale acquisition cost (WAC) of Wegovy is $1,350 per pen, which is equivalent to $5,400 for a 4-week dose. The WAC is the manufacturer's list price for wholesalers or direct purchasers but does not include discounts or rebates that may be negotiated with insurance companies or pharmacies.

In conclusion, the cost of Wegovy can be high, but patients can save money by using a savings card or insurance coverage. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if Wegovy is the right medication for weight management and to discuss pricing options.
