How much is Mounjaro® without insurance? Cost of tirzepatide

Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) is a medication manufactured by Eli Lilly & Co. that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in May 2022.

It is an injectable medication designed to help patients manage their blood sugar levels and may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. Mounjaro® can also aid in weight loss when taken in conjunction with meaningful lifestyle chances, including healthy food and exercise. 

What is the list price of Mounjaro® (tirzepatide)?

The list price of Mounjaro®, meaning the price before insurance, is around $1087 for 2mL depending on the pharmacy. 

As a once-weekly injectable medication with a strength of 2.5 mg/0.5 mL, a 2mL supply will last roughly one month depending on the dose you are instructed to take by your healthcare provider. 

The starting dosage of Mounjaro® is 2.5 mg. After 4 weeks, doses may be increased in 2.5 mg increments, as tolerated, up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly. Doses are set and monitored by a healthcare provider and may be adjusted to help patients meet their blood sugar, weight loss, and metabolic health goals.

If the Mounjaro® list price gives you sticker shock, don’t worry: Few patients pay this amount. Exactly how much you will pay after insurance depends on your individual health plan. 

Patients who are uninsured or have high deductible plans may be eligible for assistance through Eli Lilly’s patient assistance program, which provides medication at no cost to those who qualify based on income and other factors. The manufacturer also offers a Mounjaro Savings Card for eligible patients.
