भारत में
Ozempic (Novo Nordisk): ₹5,000-8,000/month। Rybelsus (oral): ₹3,000-5,000/month। Indian alternatives: cheaper but limited availability। US में $900-1,400/month — भारत में काफी सस्ता। Prescription mandatory — self-medication खतरनाक।
Insurance
ज्यादातर Indian health insurance GLP-1 cover नहीं करता (weight loss indication)। Diabetes indication: कुछ plans cover करते हैं। Govt hospitals: subsidized rates available। Apollo, Fortis, Max: private options।
The price gap between brand-name and compounded semaglutide is roughly 5-7x ($1,350/month vs $200/month). As brand-name shortages resolve, the FDA may restrict compounded versions, potentially eliminating the lower-cost option for many patients.
