Drug-company prices are for the medicine
In September 2026, most drug-company prices for weight and diabetes medicines paid without insurance were about $149–$499 per month.
This range spans shots and tablets. Ask which pharmacy would fill the prescription and take your payment, and what any clinic visit costs.

Some offers charge more when a refill is late. Depending on the product, an advertised month can cover a pen box, tablets in a bottle or enough medicine for 28 days.
Ask how many days and which package your price covers.
As of September 2026, payment at the drug company's uninsured price adds nothing toward your plan's deductible or out-of-pocket cap.
A deductible is your required spending before some plan benefits start. An out-of-pocket cap limits covered spending under the plan.
