As one of the most happening cities in the world, New York City is the hub for everything. Also called the Big Apple, most people that are from outside the city of New York might think NYC is a lean city without any problems of obesity. However, the reality is that New York City has it’s share of the overweight and obese.

Updated GLP-1 Pricing at W8MD NYC

Semaglutide from $35 weekly

Ozempic from W8MD NYC

Semaglutide (Ozempic® / Wegovy® Active Ingredient)

Semaglutide is a GLP1 analogue sold under names like Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy, used for managing type 2 diabetes and for long-term weight loss, helping control blood sugar and reduce cardiovascular risks.

How it works

- It mimics the GLP-1 hormone, slowing stomach emptying, increasing insulin production when blood sugar is high, and decreasing glucagon.

This helps control blood sugar, reduces appetite, and promotes weight loss.

Uses

Type 2 Diabetes:

With diet and exercise to control blood sugar.

Weight Management:

For adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition, alongside diet and exercise.

Cardiovascular Risk Reduction:

In patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease, it lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, and death.

Liver Disease:

For metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) with fibrosis, excluding cirrhosis.

W8MD offers reduced prices for Semaglutide (compounded) when insurance does not cover branded versions.

Dose	With Insurance	Self-Pay
0.25 mg	$35+ weekly or $70+ (2 weeks)	$60 weekly or 120+ (2 weeks)

Prices go up based on dose escalation and medical evaluation.

Tirzepatide from as low as $45.00 weekly

Tirzepatide (marketed as Zepbound for weight loss and Mounjaro for Type 2 diabetes) is a highly effective, once-weekly injectable medication that mimics GIP and GLP-1 hormones to suppress appetite and slow gastric emptying. In trials, it has shown substantial weight loss, with participants losing up to 21-22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks.

Key Details for Weight Loss:

- Effectiveness: Studies show average weight loss of 15%–21% of body weight, with some users losing over 50 pounds.
- Dosage & Usage:
  It is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of 30 or higher (or 27+ with weight-related conditions), typically used alongside reduced-calorie diet and exercise

Mechanism: It targets brain receptors regulating appetite, leading to increased feelings of fullness and reduced caloric intake.

Reduced prices for Tirzepatide (Mounjaro® / Zepbound® Active Ingredient)

Dose	With Insurance	Self-Pay
2.5 mg	$45+weekly or $90+ (2 weeks)	$70 weekly or 140+ (2 weeks)

Success stories

It is now a year and a half since I began this journey. I have lost 103 pounds, reaching and actually surpassing by a couple of pounds my weight loss goal, and am maintaining.

My monthly visits with Dr. Tumpati, as well as the positive reinforcement of his staff, really help to keep me on track. My new eating habits have become my new normal, and I accept that adhering to these guidelines regarding my food needs to be a permanent part of my health routine, just like brushing my teeth.

Living healthy and feeling good about the way I look are such great ways to start and go through my day that I can’t think of anything better. All my positives are enhanced and any negatives don’t seem as bad because at my center I am healthy, vibrant, energetic, and able to attract goodness. Every day is filled with gratitude that I have emerged from this process – dare I say it? Victorious! – D.M.
