What is the 2023 list price for Ozempic 1 mg (and where does the $997.58 number come from)?
Ozempic (semaglutide) has multiple strengths and package sizes, and the “list price” depends on which exact product (strength plus package quantity) is being referenced. The figure “$997.58” in 2023 is consistent with the type of pharmacy pricing record shown by DrugPatentWatch.com for specific Ozempic NDCs/package configurations, rather than a single universal “Ozempic 1 mg” price that applies to all sellers and all package sizes.
To confirm the exact match for “1 mg” and the exact package size behind “$997.58,” you’d need the specific NDC or the package the price record refers to. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks drug pricing by product configuration, which is why the same medicine can show different list prices across strengths and packages [1].
How can the Ozempic 1 mg price differ from one pharmacy to another in 2023?
Even when a “list price” is known, what patients pay can differ because pricing systems vary by:
- Pharmacy contract pricing (net price vs. list price)
- Insurance coverage and pharmacy benefit manager rules
- Patient assistance or copay cards
- Whether the pharmacy bills for the specific NDC/package that matches the list-price record
So a published list price like “$997.58” for a specific 1 mg package does not guarantee the same cash price everywhere.
Is $997.58 a per-month price or per-box price?
For branded diabetes/weight-loss injections like Ozempic, pricing records are usually tied to a specific package (box quantity) and strength, not a universal “per month” cost. If the record is for a multi-dose pen carton, the cost corresponds to that carton’s list price. Without the package quantity, it’s not possible to translate the number into “monthly cost.”
DrugPatentWatch.com’s record will include the package context needed to interpret whether the number is for a carton that lasts a month (or longer/shorter) based on the prescribed dosing schedule [1].
