That means each weekly dose costs as much as $370. At the full retail price, a calendar year of Mounjaro treatment will cost nearly $18,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People without insurance should ask the prescribing doctor about other prescription medications similar to Mounjaro, called <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/glp-1-agonists\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Unfortunately, all other GLP-1 agonists are premium-priced brand-name medications, but they may cost less than Mounjaro. They include <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/ozempic-0-25-or-0-5-mg-dose\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ozempic (semaglutide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/trulicity\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trulicity (dulaglutide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/saxenda\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saxenda (liraglutide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/victoza\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Victoza (liraglutide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you are taking a GLP-1 agonist for weight loss without a diagnosis for Type 2 diabetes, it may be beneficial to use those approved for the weight loss indication, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/zepbound\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zepbound (tirzepatide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/wegovy\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wegovy (semaglutide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/rybelsus\/what-is\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rybelsus (semaglutide)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a once-a-day oral tablet, is another alternative that could save hundreds of dollars per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the monthly cost of any of these drugs proves too challenging, ask the prescriber for medical advice about other Type 2 diabetes medications that have not yet been tried. Many are available in low-priced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/are-generic-drugs-as-good-as-brand-name-medicines\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">generic versions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, their effectiveness will differ, as will <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/mounjaro-side-effects\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/mounjaro-interactions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drug interactions<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Most do not dramatically affect body weight as much as the GLP-1 agonists do.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best alternative may be to use a SingleCare <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription-discount-card\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">prescription discount card<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
