Wegovy pill cost without insurance
The Wegovy pill is a prescription semaglutide tablet taken once a day.
General information, not medical advice. Last reviewed: pending clinical review.
Novo Nordisk sells the Wegovy pill to people paying for it themselves through NovoCare Pharmacy, Novo Nordisk’s self-pay program. The price depends on the dose, and the dose rises on the schedule on the label — so the first month’s price is not the price of the months after it. Every figure on this page is a published price with its source beside it.

The conditions printed with these prices
What each price depends on, by form and dose, as Novo Nordisk states it.
- 1.5 mg to 25 mg: Self-pay
Why the dose matters to the price
The dose rises on the schedule on the label, and the price is set by the dose. The label’s schedule is inside, cited.
- The label’s schedule for the tablets is once a day: 1.5 mg for days 1 to 30, 4 mg for days 31 to 60, 9 mg for days 61 to 90, and 25 mg as the maintenance dose from day 91.Source: FDA-approved label for Wegovy (DailyMed) (opens in a new tab), label revised 6/2026. Checked October 11, 2026.
The year, not the month
What a first year of the Wegovy pill costs
12 fills of 30 days, priced from Novo Nordisk’s list along the dose schedule on the label: $3,338. Arithmetic on a price list, not a prediction or a recommendation of any dose: a prescriber sets the schedule, and a slower one changes the sum.
Rising to 25 mg and staying there: $3,338
1 × $149 + 1 × $199 + 10 × $299 = $3,338
