What is the cost difference between wegovy and ozempic?

Short answer: Wegovy (for weight management) is usually more expensive than Ozempic (for diabetes) in the US, mainly because the weekly dose is much higher.

Approximate US prices (list price, before insurance or coupons):
- Wegovy: about $1,350 per month.
- Ozempic: varies by dose
- Common 0.5 mg–1 mg weekly: roughly $900–$1,000 per month
- 2 mg weekly (higher dose): around $1,200–$1,600 per month

Most patients don’t pay the full list price thanks to insurance, coupons, and manufacturer savings programs. The actual out-of-pocket can be quite different based on your plan, copays, and discounts.

If you’d like, tell me your country, your exact prescribed dose, and whether you have insurance or a savings card, and I can tailor a better estimate. I can also suggest ways to check current prices at pharmacies or with discount programs.
