How Much Do Peptides Cost? Per Milligram, per Dose and per Month

What a month of a prescription peptide costs, computed from sellers that publish a price, and how to convert a per-vial, per-dose or four-week quote into the same unit.

ByDerek MossPricing analystPublished

A month of a prescription peptide typically costs $142 to $295. The low end is GHK-Cu topical. The high end is Liraglutide injection. Those are medians across 9 compounds with a price board.

The table is the live market for each compound, in the form its board prices. Each name opens that board; the price index lists them all.

Monthly price by compound, in each price board's form, from sellers that publish a monthly figure. Each seller counted once, at its lowest eligible monthly price in that form. Promotional and non-monthly figures excluded.

Per month: the only unit that compares

Most sellers price sermorelin, NAD+ and glutathione by the month. That figure usually covers the medication for one month. It may not cover the consult.

Compare two monthly quotes at the same form. An injection and a nasal spray are different products. They are priced differently too.

The fees outside that figure are listed in the peptide therapy cost guide.

Per four weeks: the thirteenth charge

25 price rows bill every four weeks. That is 13 charges a year, not 12. A typical four-week price of $199 works out to $215.58 a month.

Read the billing line, not the headline. “Monthly” sometimes means every 28 days. Brand pens are sold the same way: one Wegovy box is a 28-day supply, as the Wegovy cost guide shows.

Per vial and per milligram

Some sellers price by the vial. A vial is not a month. How long it lasts depends on the prescribed dose.

Prices quoted per vial, by compound
CompoundVial pricesTypical vialTypical per mg

PT-141 (bremelanotide)5$249$7.50 (3 rows)
Prices quoted per vial, by compound. Rows a seller prices per vial, not per month. Per-mg figures use only vials whose milligrams the seller states.

NAD+ vials are the clearest case, because sellers fill them at different strengths. The NAD+ price units guide compares its routes per milligram.

Sermorelin has the same problem. See how long a sermorelin vial lasts before you compare a vial to a month.

Per dose: the brand-name exception

Some brand drugs are sold by the dose. Vyleesi is one. Its label describes a single-dose autoinjector holding 1.75 mg[3].

The label says not to take more than one dose in 24 hours[3]. It says more than 8 doses a month is not recommended[3]. So a month of the brand is a count of pens. Compounded PT-141 is quoted by the month instead.

Those two prices do not line up. The PT-141 cost guide sets them side by side, and what the brand’s pens cost is in Vyleesi cost.

Why some peptides have no price here

Federal law limits what a pharmacy may compound from[4]. The substance needs a USP monograph, a place in an approved drug, or a spot on FDA’s list[4].

FDA extends an interim policy to substances still under evaluation, in Category 1[2]. Conditions apply[2]. That is not an approval.

MOTS-c and BPC-157 appear in none of FDA’s three 503A categories[1]. Kisspeptin sits in Category 2, substances FDA says raise significant safety risks[1]. Without a lawful pharmacy route, there is no price to publish.

Before you pay

Ask for the monthly figure at your dose. Ask how often it bills. Ask what ships with it. Then compare it to the board. The seller reviews read each seller’s fees and terms.

Topical copper peptide is priced differently again. See copper peptide serum for that split.

FAQ

4 questions

How much do peptide injections cost per month?

This page computes a typical, low and high monthly price for each prescription peptide from sellers that publish one. The medians sit in the table at the top of the page.

Why is a per-vial price hard to compare?

A vial is not a month. How long a vial lasts depends on the prescribed dose, so a per-vial price only becomes a monthly cost once the dose is known.

Is four-week billing the same as monthly?

No. Billing every four weeks is 13 charges a year, not 12, so a four-week price costs more per calendar month than the same figure billed monthly.

Why do some peptides have no price on this site?

Some peptides sit on no FDA 503A list, so a pharmacy has no lawful route to compound them. With no pharmacy route there is no price to publish.
