On the contrary. It’s quite cheap, since compounding pharmacies are selling semaglutide for injection.
Last week I purchased 90 tablets of 14mg Rybelsus for just over $700. My cost per milligram of semaglutide was just over 50 cents. Compounding pharmacies are preparing weekly injections containing at most a few milligrams of semaglutide, and they are selling a one-month supply for ~$250. Their cost for active ingredient is well-under $10.
