Here is what a pen costs, checked in September 2026. Southstar Drug, Watsons and Rose Pharmacy list the Saxenda pen from ₱3,380 to ₱3,383. One caution: the Watsons title says per piece, its description says x3, so that pack is ambiguous. Mercury Drug lists no price online. Saxenda is liraglutide, a daily injection. The listings state no dose count, so there is no price per mg here. FDA Philippines shows BR-1291 only in product information documents, with no active register row. Prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. Trulicity is dulaglutide, a weekly pen labelled for type 2 diabetes. Southstar Drug lists the 1.5 mg pen at ₱1,766.25. Weekly GLP-1 research vials exist too. Not the same product, and for Saxenda not the same molecule. A research vial is not approved for human use: research only. Our partner and supplier, Primara Labs, lists 15 mg semaglutide at ₱1,990 and tirzepatide at ₱1,890 per vial. The Saxenda pen starts at ₱3,380.

It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, the same drug class as semaglutide and the GLP-1 half of tirzepatide, delivered by a multi-dose pen. The distinguishing feature is the schedule: liraglutide is injected once every day rather than once a week. The class-wide side-effect picture is in the [GLP-1 side effects guide](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/guides/glp1-side-effects), and none of it substitutes for a prescriber. ## Listings and Registration Rose Pharmacy, Southstar Drug and Watsons published a peso price for the Saxenda pen on their own product pages when checked on 23 September 2026. A published listing is a price, not a promise of branch stock. The channels that publish no price online: - **Mercury Drug:** needs an in-store or phone check. Mercury Drug publishes no medicine prices online; its Order Online page is a phone form. - **MedsGo:** needs an in-store or phone check. MedsGo blocked the 23 September check after two requests; re-check from another network. Registration is less clear-cut for Saxenda than for the weekly pens. What the FDA Philippines verification portal returned: Saxenda is registered with FDA Philippines as a prescription drug. The verification portal returned these certificate of product registration numbers on 23 September 2026: - BR-1291 (PI listing only): Saxenda, 6 mg/mL Saxenda: No active product row found. BR-1291 appears only in the product information document list; the product register search returned no Saxenda row. Needs a manual check. Check any registration yourself on the [FDA Philippines verification portal](https://verification.fda.gov.ph/). ## Pricing As of 23 September 2026, Saxenda 6 mg/ml lists from PHP 3,380 at Southstar Drug to PHP 3,383 at Rose Pharmacy. Every figure in the table below was read from the pharmacy's own listing and checked on 23 September 2026. The per-pen figure is not comparable with a weekly pen's. A weekly pen delivers a fixed number of weekly doses; a daily pen is used up at whatever daily dose is prescribed, so its monthly cost depends on the prescription. This page does not work that out, because the dose is a decision for a licensed Philippine physician. ### Saxenda prices in the Philippines, 23 September 2026 - As of 23 September 2026, Saxenda 6 mg/ml lists from PHP 3,380 at Southstar Drug to PHP 3,383 at Rose Pharmacy. | Strength | Pharmacy | Price | Pack | FDA PH reg. | Checked | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 6 mg/ml | [MedsGo](https://medsgo.ph/saxenda/)[1](#saxendax-n1) | **₱3,380** | 1 pen | Not listed | 26 Aug 2026not re-seen since | | 6 mg/ml | [Southstar Drug](https://southstardrug.com.ph/products/saxenda-6-mg-ml-solution-for-injection-in-pre-filled-pen-600-in-house-trade-account) | **₱3,380** | 1 pen | Not listed | 23 Sep 2026 | | 6 mg/ml | [Watsons](https://www.watsons.com.ph/saxenda-saxenda-liraglutide-solution-for-injection-6-mg-ml-pre-filled-pen-sold-per-piece-prescription-required-available-in-click-collect-and-express-delivery-only/p/BP_50015974)[2](#saxendax-n2) | **₱3,381** | See note 2 | Not listed | 23 Sep 2026 | | 6 mg/ml | [Rose Pharmacy](https://www.rosepharmacy.com/product/saxenda-soln-iv-inj-6mg-ml-3/) | **₱3,383** | 1 pen | Not listed | 23 Sep 2026 | - MedsGo: MedsGo also listed a 3-pen pack.

Treat as 1 pen per the title, but pack is ambiguous Mercury Drug publishes no prices online. Every row above links the pharmacy page it was read from. Full tables: [Saxenda prices](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/prices/saxenda) and the [GLP-1 price tracker](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/prices). These are prescription medicines, and prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. Prices checked on 23 September 2026. Each was read from a seller that publishes figures, which is why Mercury Drug appears nowhere in the source column. Saxenda is a prescription medicine, and prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. The full class comparison is in the [GLP-1 price tracker](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/prices). ## Daily vs Weekly Saxenda is injected once a day. The semaglutide and tirzepatide pens listed in the Philippines, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, are injected once a week. Over a year that is roughly 365 injections against 52, and every pen in use has to be carried and stored as its label directs. Which schedule suits a given person, and which molecule, is a conversation for a prescriber who knows that person's history, not a preference this site can rank. ## What the Trials Compared In STEP 8, a 68-week phase 3b trial of 338 US adults with obesity or overweight and no diabetes, body weight fell 6.4% on liraglutide 3.0 mg and 15.8% on semaglutide 2.4 mg, against 1.9% on placebo. In the same trial, nausea was reported by 59.1% on liraglutide and 61.1% on semaglutide, against 22.4% on placebo and discontinuation for adverse events was reported by 12.6% on liraglutide and 3.2% on semaglutide, against 3.5% on placebo. Those are population averages under supervised trial conditions, not a forecast for any individual. What semaglutide's other trials measured, and the side effects they reported, is in the [semaglutide guide](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/peptides/semaglutide); tirzepatide's are in the [tirzepatide guide](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/peptides/tirzepatide). ## Risk & Regulatory Caution **Saxenda is a prescription medication.** It is dispensed against a prescription through registered pharmacies, and prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. **Label warnings apply.** The US prescribing information for Saxenda carries a boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumours and lists a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 as a contraindication. That is a conversation for a physician. **Counterfeit pens.** What counterfeit GLP-1 pens look like is covered in the [counterfeit pen guide](https://www.philippinespeptides.com/guides/fake-ozempic-philippines). Nothing in this filing is medical advice or a treatment claim. Semaglutide 15mg research vial ₱1,990, Tirzepatide 15mg research vial ₱1,890: from Primara Labs, our partner and supplier, stocked in Metro Manila. Research use only. ## FAQ ### How much does Saxenda cost in the Philippines? As of 23 September 2026, Saxenda 6 mg/ml lists from PHP 3,380 at Southstar Drug to PHP 3,383 at Rose Pharmacy. Saxenda is a daily injection, so one pen does not correspond to a fixed number of weeks the way a weekly pen does: how long a pen lasts depends on the prescribed daily dose, and prescribing belongs with a licensed Philippine physician. ### Is Saxenda available in Philippine pharmacies? Rose Pharmacy, Southstar Drug and Watsons listed the Saxenda 6 mg/mL pen with a peso price on 23 September 2026. A listing is a price, not a stock guarantee, and Mercury Drug publishes no prices online, so branch stock is confirmed by phone or at the counter. Saxenda is a prescription medicine. ### What is the difference between Saxenda and Ozempic? Different molecules and different schedules. Saxenda is liraglutide, injected once daily. Ozempic is semaglutide, injected once weekly, and Wegovy is semaglutide labelled for weight management. All three are GLP-1 receptor agonists sold as pens by Novo Nordisk. The trial that compared liraglutide with semaglutide directly, STEP 8, is summarised in the next answer. ### How does liraglutide compare with semaglutide in trials? In STEP 8, a 68-week phase 3b trial of 338 US adults with obesity or overweight and no diabetes, body weight fell 6.4% on liraglutide 3.0 mg and 15.8% on semaglutide 2.4 mg, against 1.9% on placebo.
