Novo Nordisk sells the Wegovy pill to cash-paying patients for $149 a month at the lowest dose, $199 at 4 mg and $299 at 9 mg and 25 mg, 30 tablets a month. The Wegovy pen is $349. Here is every published price, dose by dose.
The answer, dose by dose:
The Wegovy pill is oral semaglutide, approved by the FDA on 22 December 2025 for weight management (as reported by Healio). It comes in four strengths, 1.5, 4, 9 and 25 mg. NovoCare's page states the cash price by dose, and the chart below draws each against the pen.
| Wegovy pill dose | Self-pay, per month (30 tablets) | Twelve months |
|---|---|---|
| 1.5 mg | $149 | $1,788 |
| 4 mg | $199 | $2,388 |
| 9 mg | $299 | $3,588 |
| 25 mg | $299 | $3,588 |
The price steps up with the dose, then stops: 9 mg and 25 mg cost the same, $299. Your prescriber sets which dose you take and when it changes, and we have not tied these prices to a titration schedule, so what you pay over a first year depends on how long you spend at each dose.

NovoCare's page prices what you pay with no insurance. It does not say what a health plan pays or covers, whether your plan covers the pill, or what a coupon or savings card does to the price, and we have not read a Wegovy pill savings offer. It also states that eligibility and restrictions apply and that Novo Nordisk reserves the right to modify or cancel the program at any time, so confirm the price on NovoCare before you order. NovoCare's page notes that it is not known whether Wegovy tablets are safe and effective in people under 18, and that the medicine is for use with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How we built this page: we read NovoCare Pharmacy's Wegovy page in a browser on 30 October 2026 and recorded the prices and the footnotes that define a month and the pen offer. We did not buy anything. Annual figures are our arithmetic (twelve times the monthly price). The approval date comes from Healio's report of the FDA announcement. We read no coupon or insurance prices, and prices can change; this page is information about prices, not medical advice.

On NovoCare's self-pay prices, yes at every pill dose: $149 to $299 a month against $349 for the pen (0.25 to 2.4 mg) and $399 for the 7.2 mg pen. The products and doses differ, so ask your prescriber which one fits you before comparing prices.
