How Much Does a Wegovy Prescription Cost in NZ?

Wegovy is a prescription-only medication in New Zealand. Before you can buy it from a pharmacy, you’ll need a prescription from a doctor, and that’s where the cost can vary significantly depending on how and where you get it.

Finding a clear answer on what it costs to get a Wegovy prescription in New Zealand isn’t always easy. Many clinics don’t list their prices, specialists often require referrals, and online services can vary widely.

At Well Revolution, we believe in keeping it simple, transparent, and accessible. So here’s how we compare.

1. The Problem With Hidden Pricing

Many weight loss clinics and specialist-led services don’t publish their fees. You may need to:

• Book an in-person appointment
• Wait weeks for availability
• Pay a specialist consultation fee (often $200 or more)
• Cover additional charges for follow-ups or prescriptions

Even traditional GPs, while more affordable, can vary widely in cost:

• Average co-pay: $30–$90+ per appointment
• Availability: Can require a long wait, especially for repeat care

“I tried going through my GP, but they weren’t sure about Wegovy and I had to wait three weeks just to be seen.”  — Samantha, Waikanae

"I had one month prescribed by a GP about 3 weeks ago. She would only give me a one-month script because she didn’t know the medication. I’d rather use Well Revolution" — Donna, Christchurch

2. Online Services: Sometimes More Expensive Than You Think

Several online clinics offer GLP-1 weight loss support, but read the fine print:

• Initial fee: Often $149
• Monthly follow-ups: $99/month for the first 3 months
• Ongoing check-ins: $99 every 3 months

This adds up quickly. You might spend over $450 in just your first 3 months, not including medication.

"I thought $149 wasn’t bad until I realised I’d be charged another $99 every month." — Member from Auckland

3. Others: Hidden Risks To Ongoing Treatment

Some pharmacies now offer Wegovy prescriptions for around $60 for a single month. These quick-start options may seem convenient, but many patients are left without a way to continue treatment.

“I started through a pharmacy but was turned down for my second month. It felt like they weren’t set up to support it long term.” — Nik, Wellington

Without long-term follow-up or dose escalation support, these options can leave you stuck partway through treatment.

4. Well Revolution: One Flat Fee, No Surprises
