Last I checked, Ozempic (Semaglutide) is around $1000/month in the US. A typical 1 month pen is 4-8mg, so around $250/mg to $500/mg. So yeah, I may have understated how much cheaper the gray market version is.

Semaglutide is effectively $99/month in the US. Not from shady sources.

Do you mean with health insurance? Novo Nordisk still lists it at $1000+ on their website: https://www.novopricing.com/ozempic.html

I meant from the various compounding pharmacies. But in the worst-case you go with GoodRx and get it for $350/mo (after $199/mo for the first two).

This is incorrect.

Tirzepatide is $400-450 (depending on dose) per month directly from Eli Lilly.

Novo Nordisk's drugs can be had as low as $250/month through third party (which is weird), though they'll probably honor those prices in direct sales before long.

These are all cash pay prices, no insurance.
