Obesity Drug Prices Dropping But Supply Is A Challenge

July 7, 2025 5:19 am

Prices are falling for the popular obesity treatments Wegovy and Zepbound, but steady access to the drugs remains challenging. Reduced monthly costs for uninsured patients still amount to around $500. That can put the drugs out of reach for many. Coverage also continues to shift or restrict how patients get prescriptions. Doctors say the patchy coverage and costs force them to get creative in treating patients. But there’s hope that prices for the injectable drugs may fall more in the future, especially once pill versions enter the market.
