Semaglutide Weight Loss Cost: What You'll Actually Pay in 2026
By Verum Health Medical Team · April 1, 2026 · 7 min read
Semaglutide is the most effective weight loss medication available — but the price difference between brand name and compounded options is dramatic. Here's what you need to know before you pay.
Brand Name vs. Compounded Semaglutide Cost
| Option | Monthly Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ozempic (brand) | $900–$1,400/mo | Requires insurance or manufacturer coupon |
| Wegovy (brand) | $1,300–$1,600/mo | FDA-approved for weight loss specifically |
| Compounded Semaglutide (Verum Health) | $80–$350/mo | Physician-prescribed, 503A licensed pharmacy |
Why Is Compounded Semaglutide So Much Cheaper?
Compounded semaglutide is prepared by a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy rather than a brand-name manufacturer. The active molecule is identical — semaglutide — but without the brand markup. The pharmacy compounds it to your physician's exact prescribed dose.
This is completely legal when prescribed by a licensed physician and dispensed by a licensed pharmacy.
Verum Health Semaglutide Pricing
Our pricing scales with dose — you start low and titrate up as tolerated:
- Starting dose (0.6mg/mL, 2mL): $120/vial — typically 4–8 weeks
- Maintenance dose (2.5mg/mL, 2mL): $150–$180/vial
- Higher dose (5mg/mL, 2mL): $340–$380/vial

Most patients stabilize at a dose that costs $120–$250/month — a fraction of brand name pricing.
