How we got these numbers
Every price on this page comes from the drug maker's own website: Eli Lilly for Zepbound and Novo Nordisk for Wegovy and Ozempic. These are the cash prices the makers sell at through their own pharmacy programs, and the savings card prices they post for people with insurance. Where we show a total, we only multiply the maker's monthly price by months, so you can see a yearly cost. We do not add our own guesses. We leave out list prices that other websites report differently. Drug prices in this area change often, so check the maker's page before you buy. We last checked on September 26, 2026.
