Pricing Traps to Avoid

• Dose-dependent jumps: Some providers advertise low starting prices that increase 30-50% at maintenance doses
• Hidden membership fees: The medication price may not include a separate monthly platform fee
• Non-refundable consults: Some charge for the initial visit even if you're deemed ineligible
• "First month" pricing: Introductory rates that double or triple on refills

The Bottom Line

The GLP-1 market in May 2026 offers genuine competition on price. Oral Wegovy at $149/month has disrupted the assumption that brand-name equals unaffordable. Compounded options remain the cheapest injectable pathway. Always compare total monthly cost including all fees before committing.
