GLP-1 cash price ledger: Zepbound, Wegovy and Foundayo by dose

Quick answer. This page lists the self-pay prices that Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk showed for Zepbound, Wegovy and Foundayo on November 3, 2026, one row per dose, with a link to the maker’s page and the date the Atlas read it. Prices and offers change often, so each row shows the date and the page it came from. Cash prices are not the same as what insurance or Medicare would charge.

The price ledger

One row per dose. Prices are monthly, in U.S. dollars, as the makers listed them. The Atlas read each figure on the maker’s own page and did not buy anything. A CSV copy of this table is available for download. The label doses behind each row are on the GLP-1 dosage chart.

How to read these prices

  • All figures are starting or listed prices. Lilly and Novo Nordisk say taxes and fees may apply, a prescription is required, and the company can change or cancel an offer.
  • A month is not the same everywhere. Lilly defines a Foundayo month as 30 days. A Wegovy pill month is one bottle of 30 tablets, and a Wegovy pen month is one box of four pens. For Zepbound, check Lilly’s page for how it counts a month before comparing it with a daily pill.
  • Refill rules change the price. The Zepbound and Foundayo prices at higher doses depend on refilling within 45 days. The Zepbound row shows the regular price in brackets when Lilly lists one.
  • Some prices are temporary. The $199 Wegovy pen price is for new patients and the first two fills. The Foundayo 2.5 mg and 5.5 mg prices are reduced through December 31, 2026.
  • Supplies cost extra. Lilly says a pen needle purchase is required with the Zepbound KwikPen.
  • This is cash pricing. Self-pay amounts do not replace insurance, and Medicare members have different rules. See how people pay for GLP-1 medicines and Medicare and GLP-1 medicines.

What changed

DateChange
Nov 3, 2026First dated ledger. The Atlas read the Zepbound, Wegovy pen, Wegovy HD, Wegovy pill and Foundayo prices on the makers’ pages. The Zepbound and Wegovy figures matched the Atlas’s October readings. Foundayo was added, along with the regular Zepbound prices that apply when a refill is late.

Future checks will add a dated row here whenever a listed price, offer or end date changes.

What is not listed or not checked

  • Foundayo after the temporary reduction. Check Lilly’s page for the price of the 2.5 mg and 5.5 mg strengths after December 31, 2026. For 14.5 mg and 17.2 mg the page did not list a regular price.
  • TrumpRx. The Atlas saw prices there in October 2026 ($199 for the Wegovy pen, $149 for the Wegovy pill and $199 for Ozempic) but could not open the site on November 3, so those figures are not in the ledger. The site did not say which doses its prices cover.
  • Ozempic and Mounjaro. These are approved for type 2 diabetes and are not in this weight-management ledger.
  • Compounded versions and pharmacy prices. The ledger covers brand-name maker prices only. Pharmacy and online-service prices vary.
  • Insurance and savings-card prices. These depend on your plan. See the paying guide.
