Branded GLP-1 medicines are priced by the manufacturer per pen, and the price changes with strength: a higher-dose pen of the same brand usually costs more. What you pay also depends on the pharmacy and on whether a medical scheme contributes. The reliable way to get a current figure is to ask the dispensing pharmacy or your scheme for the exact product and strength prescribed — any number quoted online without a strength attached is not a real price.
Treat a "Mounjaro" or "Ozempic" offered far below pharmacy price with suspicion: a genuine branded pen is not sold at a discount by a social-media seller, and falsified incretin pens have circulated in South Africa.
Research compounds are priced differently, per vial and per milligram, because they are laboratory reagents rather than finished medicines. The table on this page shows LWL’s live prices for research-grade tirzepatide, retatrutide and eloralintide, including the per-milligram figure and any pre-order saving. These are not prices for a medicine and not a comparison with one.

Questions
How much is Mounjaro® in South Africa?
It depends on the pen strength, the pharmacy and your medical scheme. Ask the dispensing pharmacy for the exact strength prescribed. We do not sell Mounjaro® and do not quote its price.
How much is Ozempic® in South Africa?
As with any branded pen, the price varies by strength and pharmacy. We do not sell Ozempic® or any semaglutide product.
What do your research compounds cost?
The live table on this page lists each research vial with its price per vial and per milligram, and any pre-order saving. Volume tier pricing applies at checkout. Research use only.
Why is a research vial priced per milligram?
Because it is a laboratory reagent sold by quantity, not a finished medicine with a fixed dose. Per-milligram pricing is the fair way to compare vial sizes.
