Cost and Coverage
The cost of both Wegovy® and Trulicity can vary depending on your insurance coverage and other factors. However, in general, Wegovy® tends to be more expensive than Trulicity. While Wegovy® has been approved by the FDA for weight loss, Trulicity is still considered an off-label weight loss medication. This might make it more difficult to find coverage through your insurance plan for Trulicity.
According to GoodRx, the average retail price for a 4-week supply of Wegovy is around $1,400, while the average retail price for a 4-week supply of Trulicity is around $800-900. However, it's worth noting that these prices can vary widely depending on where you purchase the medication and what kind of insurance coverage you have.
Conclusion
Both Wegovy® and Trulicity are effective prescription weight-loss medications; however, Wegovy® may be more effective. Both medications have similar side effects and contraindications. They are both once-weekly injections, however, the dosage may vary. Since Wegovy® is FDA approved for weight loss, insurance plans may cover some of the costs of the medications. Regardless, you should always reach out to your insurance providers to see which medication is covered under your plan and if you are eligible for coverage in the first place.
It is also always important to note that either of these medications should be taken in conjunction with diet and exercise in order to achieve maximum benefits.
