Tirzepatide cost

The pricing landscape

Brand tirzepatide (Mounjaro®/Zepbound®) carries a high list price — often around $1,000+/month without insurance or manufacturer savings. Telehealth and compounded options are frequently far less, though pricing shifts with regulations, supply and provider.

Your real cost is per dose, not per vial

A larger vial costs more up front but can yield many doses. What matters is cost ÷ doses. Enter your vial size and dose in the tirzepatide calculator — it shows how many doses a vial yields so you can compare options on a true per-dose basis.

Tip: at a fixed dose, a 60 mg vial generally costs less per dose than a 10 mg vial — but only if you use it before it expires.

Get tirzepatide with a licensed provider

A prescription matters: real reconstitution should be done with pharmacy-grade product and clinician guidance. These telehealth services handle the evaluation, prescription, and shipping.
