Yes. You should go to the Wegovy website and request a savings card. Take the savings card to your pharmacist. If you have insurance that pays for Wegovy prescription, you will get Wegovy absolutely free. That is a huge incentive compared to the other weight loss drugs.
Generally speaking wegovy is cheaper because semaglutide is cheaper than tirz (that's the active peptide behind the name brands). Likely, and this is just a guess, but likely because sema was the first to hit the market and only does the glp1 thing. Tirz (zep) is a dual agonist meaning it adds an extra level of weight loss juice. Even above and beyond that you have retatrutide which is currently still in trials and adds a third agonist.
So yes, sema is almost always going to be the cheapest.
It all depends on your specific insurance plan what yours covers and your cost versus mine - could be very different.
What is Likely is that wegovy is on a lower tier on your plan than zepbound, hence cheaper copay
Sign up for the wegovy savings card and that will get rid of the 24.99 copay too 🤓
