Separate a published price from your quote

Published list price

List price is the drug maker’s published figure, rather than a bill addressed to you.

In September 2026, the published package list price for liraglutide (Saxenda) was $1,349.02.

That price page does not say how many pens, the devices that give the shots, come in a package.

Your written quote

Ask how much medicine the quote covers, how many days it would last, what care charges you would pay, and what it would cost to renew.

A package list price cannot stand in for the total cost of care.

Paying a membership fee may leave a separate medicine bill. A September 2026 check of a small sample found that most online weight-care pages charged this way.

That small sample cannot tell you what every service charges.

Open the notes behind this answer

The Saxenda figure comes from the drug maker’s list-price page checked in September 2026 and is a package price.

The maker’s pages gave different answers about a savings offer. This guide therefore cannot confirm that you can get a discount.

Ask the pharmacy to confirm whether a discount applies to your exact product and what you would pay. Get the final price in writing.
