Compounded tirzepatide 12.5 mg: what it costs per month
218 sellers publish a price that is true at 12.5 mg. Nearly all of them charge one price at every dose, so it does not move as you titrate. A further 106 publish only a starting price — an entry figure that is not what 12.5 mg costs — and are left off this page rather than listed at a number they do not charge.
Every price here is a price for 12.5 mg, restated as a real calendar month from the seller’s own billing cycle.
Where 12.5 mg sits on the label
12.5 mg is the fifth of 6 rungs of the Zepbound label's schedule, a step on the way up from 10 mg to 15 mg, taken for at least four weeks, weeks 17 to 20 at the earliest. The label does not name it as a dose to stay on; its maintenance doses are 5, 10 or 15 mg.
215 sellers publish a monthly price that holds at 12.5 mg, from $86 to $649, with the middle at $275. By the earliest point the label lets you reach 12.5 mg you will have paid for 16 weeks of treatment, about $1,012 at that middle price. None of the 3 sellers that price one dose at a time publishes a figure for 12.5 mg, so every price on this page is a one-price-at-every-dose figure.

What 12.5 mg is on a syringe
A unit is a mark on the barrel, not an amount of medicine. On a U-100 syringe 12.5 mg is a different mark at each strength a compounding pharmacy may dispense, so the number below is only yours if your vial says the same mg/mL.
| Vial strength | Units for 12.5 mg |
|---|---|
| 4.17 mg/mL | — |
| 8.33 mg/mL | — |
| 12.5 mg/mL | 100 |
| 16.7 mg/mL | about 74.9 |
| 20.8 mg/mL | about 60.1 |
| 25 mg/mL | 50 |
A dash means 12.5 mg does not fit one U-100 syringe at that strength — it would need more than 100 units, so a pharmacy dispensing this dose would not use that dilution.
Check the concentration printed on your own label, and if it and your instructions disagree, ask the pharmacy rather than the internet. Work it out for your vial →

Common questions about 12.5 mg
- How much does compounded tirzepatide 12.5 mg cost per month?
- Across the 215 sellers priced at 12.5 mg whose true monthly cost we can compute, the range is $86 to $649 a month and the middle of the market is $275. Each figure is the cost of a 30.4375-day calendar month, worked out from what the seller actually bills rather than copied from its advertised "per month".
- Does the price go up as the dose goes up?
- At 218 of the 218 sellers on this page it does not — they charge the same at every dose, so the figure here is what you keep paying as you titrate. The rest publish a price specific to 12.5 mg, which means their cheaper figure at a lower dose does not apply here.
- Why are some sellers missing from this page?
- Every figure on this page is what you would pay at 12.5 mg, so a seller whose only published price is a starting-dose price is left out. That number would sit in the table looking like a 12.5 mg price when it is not one. Those sellers appear on the main index with their price marked as a starting dose.
- Is the advertised price the same as what you are billed?
- Often not. A charge billed every four weeks lands thirteen times a year rather than twelve, so describing it as monthly understates the year by about eight percent. Where a seller's advertised figure differs from what it bills, both are shown here with the billing cycle that explains the difference.
