Compounding pharmacy prices are estimates based on typical market discounts of 40-65% off brand pricing. Actual prices vary by pharmacy, location, and current availability.
Provider Type
Brand-name medications through insurance or retail pharmacies cost significantly more than compounded versions. Not all peptides have compounding options.
Dosage Titration
Most peptides start at lower doses and titrate up over weeks. Initial months may cost less than maintenance-dose months.
Insurance Coverage
Some FDA-approved peptides (semaglutide, tirzepatide) may be partially covered by insurance for qualifying diagnoses like Type 2 diabetes.
Ancillary Costs
Doctor visits ($100-$250), quarterly lab work ($100-$300), and injection supplies (~$20/mo) add to total treatment cost.
