A real example of an introductory price
In the September 26, 2026 price check, the government offer page listed an Ozempic pen containing semaglutide, the medicine ingredient.
The pen is a device for giving the medicine as a shot.
For the first two monthly supplies, the offer charged $199 per supply at either strength: 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg.
Here, the amount of medicine per shot is called its strength and is measured in milligrams (mg).
That introductory offer was for new US adult patients paying without insurance and ran through December 31, 2026.
The listed monthly prices after the introductory supplies were $349 at these strengths: 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg and 1 mg; the 2 mg strength cost $499.
These are price terms, not instructions about how much medicine to take.
Why this source matters
This is a dated medicine-price example, not a quote from a care service or a total care bill.
Get the comparison in writing
- Does the prescribed strength qualify for the introductory offer?
- Which product and quantity does the quote cover?
- Which charges are separate?
- What happens after the introductory offer?
- When does a repeat charge begin, and how is it cancelled?
Keep the complete quote next to the product name. That makes the next comparison less of a guessing game.
