The short answer to "how much are peptides in the Philippines": most single research-grade vials land between ₱1,600 and ₱9,500, with the exact number set by compound class and vial size. Cosmetic and recovery peptides sit at the bottom of that band. The GLP-1 weight-management class sits at the top, and bulk vial sizes of retatrutide push past it. This filing consolidates the price tables from my individual compound dossiers so you can compare across the board before reading any single one in depth.
Every range below comes from the price table on the linked compound dossier. Ranges reflect quotes from suppliers with COA documentation, shipped to Manila, as of the date on each dossier. Where a compound I cover has no verified peso quote, it is not in this table, and I would rather leave a row out than invent one.

Ranges are supplier-dependent and move with stock and exchange rate. The compound dossier linked in each row carries the dated table, the sourcing notes, and the lab-work context that this index strips out for brevity.
The GLP-1 class is the one segment where the same molecule exists in two markets at once: registered prescription pens at pharmacy counters, and research-grade vials from suppliers. The price gap between the two channels is the single most searched peptide-pricing question in the country, so here is the side-by-side. The pen column was read off the pharmacies' own product pages in August 2026, and every pen listed holds four weekly doses, so one pen is roughly one month.
| Molecule | Pharmacy Pen (Rx) | Research-Grade Vial | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide | ₱8,734 (Ozempic 1mg, Watsons) | ₱2,800–4,500 (5mg vial) | 0.25mg and 0.5mg pens ₱7,650; MedsGo lists 1mg at ₱7,850 on promo |
| Semaglutide 2.4mg tier | ₱12,650 (Wegovy 2.4mg, Watsons) | ₱2,800–4,500 (5mg vial) | Wegovy 0.25 to 1mg ₱9,900, 1.7mg ₱11,600 |
| Tirzepatide | ₱13,550 (Mounjaro KwikPen 5mg, Watsons) | ₱6,500–9,500 (30mg vial) | 2.5mg ₱11,650, 10mg ₱22,950, 12.5 and 15mg ₱29,900 |
| Retatrutide | Not available (Phase 3) | ₱5,500–8,500 (10mg vial) | No pharmacy route exists yet |
Two notes on reading this. The branded route is more expensive than the vial route, but not by the ten-to-one multiple that circulates online: against an Ozempic 0.5mg pen at ₱7,650, a ₱2,800 to 4,500 semaglutide vial is a gap of roughly two to three times, not an order of magnitude. And no mainstream Philippine pharmacy publishes a peso price for Rybelsus, the oral semaglutide tablet, or for the Ozempic 2mg pen, so this index carries neither; Zepbound has no Philippine registration I could identify.
The full channel-by-channel breakdowns live in the dedicated pricing filings: Ozempic Philippines price for the pen market, and weight loss peptides Philippines for the class ranked by trial results.
Cold chain. Insulated packaging and temperature-controlled couriers add real cost per order, especially through Philippine summer. A supplier quoting suspiciously low is often quoting without the insulated box.
Where the stock sits. Vials already inside the Philippines ship in 1 to 3 days by insulated courier nationwide and carry no customs exposure. International orders can be cheaper on paper and slower and riskier in practice. My courier runs out of Metro Manila have been consistent; provincial buyers order online because research-peptide retail is effectively zero outside Metro Manila.
Documentation. Batch-level COA documentation costs the supplier money and is the main quality signal you can actually verify. The COA guide covers how to read one.
Vial size economics. Cost per milligram drops with vial size, which is why a tirzepatide 30mg vial at ₱6,500 to 9,500 undercuts three 10mg vials from the same supplier. Bulk only makes sense if your protocol actually consumes it before stability becomes a question.
The vial is not the whole budget. Every injectable protocol in this country runs on the same short list of consumables, and the self-directed crowd adds lab panels on top.
| Item | PHP Range | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Bacteriostatic water 30mL | ₱350–500 | Manila compounding pharmacies |
| Insulin syringes 31g (box of 100) | ₱650–900 | Mercury Drug, Watsons |
| Baseline metabolic panel (fasted insulin, HbA1c, lipids) | ₱2,800–3,800 | Hi-Precision, Makati Med outpatient |
| Endocrinology consult | ₱1,500–2,500 | Makati Med / St. Luke’s |
Consumable prices are stable and boring, which is exactly what you want. If a supplier bundles BAC water free, treat it as a nice-to-have, not a reason to pick them.
A quote inside the index ranges above, with batch COA offered unprompted, cold-chain packaging as default, and local stock, is a normal quote. A quote 40 percent below the band with no COA and a stock photo of a vial is not a bargain, it is the opening move of a bad transaction. I have not verified every supplier operating in this market and I do not pretend to; what I have verified is that the ranges above are what legitimate quotes look like in 2026.

View the Primara Labs catalogueMost research-grade peptide vials in the Philippines run between roughly ₱1,600 and ₱9,500 per vial depending on the compound and vial size. Simple cosmetic and recovery peptides like GHK-Cu and BPC-157 sit at the low end, from around ₱1,600 to 4,500. GLP-1 class compounds cost more: semaglutide 5mg vials run ₱2,800 to 4,500, tirzepatide 30mg vials ₱6,500 to 9,500, and retatrutide 10mg vials ₱5,500 to 8,500 from suppliers with COA documentation.
Of the compounds I track price data for, GHK-Cu is the cheapest at ₱1,600 to 2,500 for a research-grade 50mg vial. Ipamorelin 5mg vials at ₱1,800 to 2,500 and BPC-157 5mg vials at ₱1,800 to 2,800 sit in the same band. Budget separately for bacteriostatic water at ₱350 to 500 and insulin syringes at ₱650 to 900 per box of 100.
Research-grade semaglutide 5mg vials run ₱2,800 to 4,500 from local suppliers with COA documentation. The branded pharmacy route costs more. Checked August 2026, an Ozempic 1mg pen is ₱8,734 at Watsons, with MedsGo listing it at ₱7,850 on promotion, the 0.25mg and 0.5mg pens are ₱7,650 at Watsons, Rose Pharmacy and Southstar Drug, and a Wegovy 2.4mg pen is ₱12,650 at Watsons. Each pen holds four weekly doses, so a pen is roughly a month.
Quotes vary because the cost structure varies. Insulated packaging and temperature-controlled couriers add real cost per order, especially through Philippine summer. Suppliers holding stock locally price differently from those shipping internationally through customs. Batch testing and COA documentation add cost too. A quote far below the ranges in this index is a reason to ask harder questions, not to celebrate.
Usually not, and it depends on the supplier. The standard delivery pattern nationwide is insulated courier shipping with cold packs, arriving in 1 to 3 days to provincial cities and same day to next day within Metro Manila. Confirm whether the quote includes the insulated packaging and courier fee before comparing suppliers on vial price alone.
