These are not the same product. The pen is a registered medicine dispensed by a pharmacist. The research vial is not a medicine, is not FDA Philippines registered, and is supplied for laboratory use only. This compares what each costs, not what each is.

The telehealth range is what those operators publish for a care plan. At the low end, medication is billed separately and the all-in figure is not published anywhere, so the true comparison is higher than the number shown.

The Three Routes

Three ways to obtain a GLP-1 compound in the Philippines. They differ on price by roughly an order of magnitude, and they differ on regulatory category, supply chain and who is professionally responsible by considerably more than that.

Pharmacy pen prescription required

A branded, registered injector pen dispensed by a licensed pharmacy

Category: Registered prescription medicine
Monthly: PHP 8,000 to 18,000
Includes: The medicine and the device. Excludes the consultation that produces the prescription, and excludes bloodwork.
The trade: The only route with a registered product, a regulated supply chain and a pharmacist. Also the most expensive by a wide margin, and the one most exposed to the shortage.

Telehealth subscription prescription required

A monthly care plan, with compounded medication supplied separately

Category: Prescription, via a licensed provider
Monthly: PHP 599 to 5,995
Includes: Varies enormously and the variation is the point. At the low end, PHP 599 buys a care plan and the medication is billed on top at a price not published anywhere. At the high end, PHP 5,995 is stated to include medication and prescription. Those two numbers are not comparable, and neither site tells you that.
The trade: You get a licensed prescriber, a review and a delivery pipeline, which is real value if a prescription is what you need. The difficulty is that only one plan in this market publishes an all-in monthly figure, so comparing operators on price means comparing numbers that measure different things.

Research-grade vial no prescription

Lyophilised compound in a vial, research use only, not for administration

Category: Research chemical. Not a medicine, not FDA Philippines registered
Monthly: Priced per vial, not per month. Use the calculator above.
Includes: The vial only. Bacteriostatic water, syringes and anything else are separate, and every step after delivery is the buyer's own responsibility.
The trade: By far the lowest cost per milligram and the only route with no prescription. It is also the only route with no pharmacist, no regulated supply chain, no registered product, and no professional involved at any point. That is not a discount, it is a different category of thing.

The research vial column in this calculator is priced from a real published list rather than an estimate. Those figures come from our partner and supplier. View Primara Labs pricing

What Telehealth Costs

The Philippine telehealth weight-loss operators publish subscription prices. What none of them publishes is a total. Here is what each states on its own pages.

OperatorPlanPublished priceAll-in figure
&you (andyou.ph)Care planPHP 599 / monthNot published anywhere on their site.
GoRocky (gorocky.ph)GoSlim, and Ultimate GLP-1 TransformationGoSlim PHP 4,990 / 4,490 / 3,990 by term. Ultimate from PHP 5,995Yes, on the Ultimate plan. It is the only published all-in monthly figure found in this market.
Seenergie (seenergie.ph)Consultation-gatedNot publishedNo price is published before consultation.

&you (andyou.ph). First month free. Their page states: medication cost not included.

GoRocky (gorocky.ph). GoSlim states the fee covers the doctor's care, plan, delivery and support, without saying whether medication is inside it. The Ultimate plan states medication and prescription are included, subject to physician approval.

Seenergie (seenergie.ph). Free consultation with a Philippine-licensed doctor. Product metadata carries PHP 0.00.

This is worth stating carefully, because it is not an accusation of anything. Publishing a care-plan price separately from a medication price is a normal way to structure a subscription, and a provider genuinely cannot quote a medication cost before a prescriber has decided what to prescribe. But the practical effect for someone comparing options is that the number they need does not exist on the page they are reading, and the operator has no incentive to produce it.

One page makes the point sharply. A guide titled Ozempic Price in the Philippines currently ranks on price queries and, checked on 25 August 2026, contains no peso figure anywhere in roughly fifteen hundred words. It explains at length why the medicine is expensive here without ever saying how expensive.

What The Numbers Leave Out

A monthly figure is only part of the cost of any of these routes, and the parts it leaves out differ by route rather than being a flat addition to all three.

The pharmacy route adds a consultation to obtain the prescription and, in practice, bloodwork. Both are real costs and both buy something: a clinician who is accountable for the decision.

The telehealth route adds the medication itself at the low end of its published range, which is the entire subject of the section above.

The research route adds bacteriostatic water, syringes and courier, all of them small. What it actually adds, and what no arithmetic captures, is that every decision and every consequence after delivery sits with the buyer. There is no pharmacist, no prescriber, no registered product and nobody professionally responsible. Whether that is worth the difference in price is a judgement, and it is not one this page will make for you.

The reason to publish the numbers at all is that the cost side is currently the obscured half of that judgement, and it should not be the hard part.

Where These Figures Come From

Pharmacy pen. Observed ranges published by Regimen for Ozempic (about PHP 8,000 to 14,000), Wegovy (10,000 to 16,000) and Mounjaro (12,000 to 18,000), alongside Manila Bulletin reporting in June 2026 that Ozempic moved from roughly PHP 6,200 to over PHP 8,700 per pen amid shortage, with some sales above PHP 11,000.

Telehealth subscription. andyou publishes a care plan at PHP 599 per month with the first month free and states plainly that medication cost is not included, and does not publish a price for the medication itself. GoRocky publishes two things: a GoSlim programme at PHP 4,990 per month on a 3-month term, 4,490 on 6 months and 3,990 on 12 months, which states the fee covers the doctor's care, the plan, delivery and support without saying whether medication is inside it; and an Ultimate GLP-1 Transformation from PHP 5,995 per month which states plainly that medication and prescription are included, subject to physician approval. That last one is the only all-in monthly figure published by any operator in this market. All quoted from their own public pages on 25 August 2026.

Research-grade vial. Priced per vial rather than per month, because a vial's duration depends entirely on the quantity drawn. Primara Labs lists retatrutide 15mg at PHP 3,325, tirzepatide 15mg at PHP 2,100. Other Philippine sellers list 10mg retatrutide between roughly PHP 1,500 and 4,250. Use the calculator to convert a vial price into a monthly one.

Every telehealth price is quoted from the operator’s own public page on 25 August 2026. Provider pricing is the fastest-decaying fact on this page: GoRocky’s published tiers changed between two checks a week apart while this was being written, which is exactly why the date is on the page and why you should click through to their own page before acting on any figure here. Pharmacy pen pricing moves constantly and varies by branch, which is why it appears as an observed range rather than a single figure, and why any single number you see quoted for it elsewhere should be treated with suspicion.

FAQ

How much does a GLP-1 actually cost per month in the Philippines?

It depends entirely on the route. Branded pharmacy pens were observed between roughly PHP 8,000 and 18,000 per month across Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro. Telehealth care plans are published between PHP 599 and 5,995 per month, but at the low end medication is billed separately and no operator publishes the all-in figure. Research-grade vials work out lowest per milligram, and are not a medicine.

Why do telehealth services not publish a total cost?

One publishes a care plan at PHP 599 per month and states that medication cost is not included, without publishing what the medication costs. Another publishes a plan from PHP 5,995 per month without breaking out what each tier contains. A total cost of ownership figure would make the margin between the care plan and the medication legible, which is not in their interest to publish and not something a competitor can publish for them.

Is a research vial really cheaper than a pharmacy pen?

Per milligram, substantially, and the calculator above shows by how much for any figures you enter. That is a cost comparison and nothing more. A pen is a registered medicine with a regulated supply chain, a pharmacist and a device. A research vial is none of those things, is not FDA Philippines registered, and is supplied for laboratory use only. The price gap reflects a category difference, not a discount on the same item.

What is peso per milligram and why does it matter?

It is the vial price divided by the milligrams in the vial, and it is the only way to compare offers whose vial sizes differ. Philippine sellers list the same compound in vials ranging from 5mg to 60mg, so headline prices are not comparable. Dividing out regularly reverses the ranking: the cheapest vial is frequently the most expensive material.

Does the calculator include shipping and supplies?

No. It converts a vial price into a monthly cost so you can compare routes on the compound itself. Courier, bacteriostatic water, syringes and any bloodwork are separate and vary. Enter a vial price that already includes delivery if you want a closer figure.

Which route should I choose?

That is not a question a page can answer for you, and anyone claiming otherwise is selling something. What this page can do is make the cost side legible, because that is the part currently obscured. The regulatory, safety and support differences between the routes are real and are described alongside every figure here rather than buried.
