How expensive are GLP-1s again?

> GLP-1 receptor agonist medications typically cost between $149 and $350 per month for cash-pay oral pills, and $900 to $1,400+ per month for list-price injectables without insurance.

I don't know that anyone really pays list price for injectables, because the vendors do discount programs. Without insurance coverage, tirzepetide via Amazon Pharmacy is something like $450/mo.

		Yeah this is what I pay for Zepbound through LillyDirect. I also eat less food and drink less alcohol than I used to. So the net loss is probably smaller, maybe $200/mo

I self pay for one from lilly-direct for about $200/mo. Insurance doesn't cover any part of it yet. It required a prescription from my doc and it comes in the mail.

How technical do you want to get?

The grey-market price from China, is about $100 for 10 x (30mg/mL, 10mL) vials of Tirzepatide. Semaglutide is cheaper.

At the highest dose of 15mg/wk, that's 20 weeks for $100.

		Are you sure that it is not 30mg total per vial, with $100 being the price for 10 vials? Because this stuff comes in powder form, not in liquid form, so mg/mL is an odd unit of measurement. Perhaps I misunderstand your comment.
