How Much Does Semaglutide GLP‑1 Cost in McKinney, TX?

The cost of Semaglutide varies depending on formulation, dosage, and whether the treatment is self-administered or provided under a clinic’s supervision. In McKinney, out-of-pocket costs generally range from $300 to $1,800 per month.

• Standard Brand-Name Products: Ozempic® and Wegovy® can be priced between $900 and $1,800 monthly if purchased retail without insurance.
• Clinic-Sourced or Compounded Formulations: Some clinics, including Kureshi Med Spa, offer medication at a more affordable rate, often around $300–$400 per month, depending on dose and treatment plan.

The variation in cost reflects the specific brand, the supply provided, and any additional services included, such as guidance on lifestyle or dietary adjustments.

Yes, dosage directly impacts cost. Higher doses designed for weight loss typically cost more than lower doses used for diabetes management.

• Wegovy®: Designed specifically for weight management, these higher-dose injections generally fall at the higher end of the pricing spectrum.
• Ozempic®: Often prescribed for glucose control and sometimes for off-label weight management, this formulation may cost slightly less than Wegovy® at equivalent strength.
• Compounded Semaglutide: Custom formulations can be adjusted to a patient’s specific needs, sometimes reducing costs while maintaining effectiveness under physician supervision.

The prescribed dose and brand selection are determined during your consultation with Dr. Ikram Kureshi, ensuring the treatment plan matches your health goals and budget.

Semaglutide is typically administered via weekly injections, which most patients find convenient. While the weekly schedule itself does not drastically affect the cost of the medication, there are nuances to consider:

• Starter or Titration Pens: Lower-dose pens for initial weeks may cost slightly less than full-dose pens.
• Full Maintenance Doses: The standard weekly dose is consistent with most manufacturers’ pricing for a monthly supply.
• Extended Supply or Bulk Purchases: Some clinics offer multi-month packages, which can reduce the effective monthly cost for ongoing treatment.

At Kureshi Med Spa, our pricing is structured to reflect both the medication and the support provided during treatment, whether that involves weekly monitoring or periodic follow-ups.

The overall cost of Semaglutide therapy includes more than just the medication. Initial consultations and follow-up visits are critical for ensuring safety, monitoring progress, and adjusting dosage as needed.

• Initial Consultation: This appointment includes a full medical review, assessment of health goals, and a personalized plan. There may be a separate consultation fee for this visit.
• Follow-Up Visits: Regular follow-ups, especially in the first few weeks, allow Dr. Ikram Kureshi to monitor your response, adjust dosing, and provide guidance on lifestyle changes. These appointments can affect the total monthly cost but are essential for safe and effective treatment.

By including consultation and follow-up fees in the planning stage, Kureshi Med Spa ensures patients have a clear understanding of the total financial commitment involved in Semaglutide therapy.
