Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has become one of the most talked-about GLP-1 medications for weight loss (here's how it stacks up against Zepbound). The catch? It's expensive — especially if you don't have insurance coverage. (See our GLP-1 insurance coverage guide.) (See our tirzepatide guide.)
List Price
Without insurance or any savings programs, Mounjaro runs roughly $1,000-$1,200 per month. That's the sticker price at a retail pharmacy before discounts kick in. (See our savings calculator.)
Manufacturer Savings Card
Eli Lilly has a savings card that can cut your cost way down. If you have commercial insurance, you might pay as little as $25 per month. It's worth checking the official Mounjaro website for the latest programs — they update these fairly often. (See our GLP-1 pricing guide.)
Compounding Pharmacies
Some patients go the compounded tirzepatide route through specialty pharmacies, which usually runs $300-$500 per month. Fair warning, though: compounded versions aren't FDA-approved, and quality varies from pharmacy to pharmacy.
Telehealth Options
A lot of telehealth weight loss clinics bundle the medication with consultations and monitoring into a single monthly price, typically $300-$600. Clinics in San Antonio and Jacksonville tend to offer competitive telehealth bundles. (See our telehealth GLP-1 providers.)
