Compounded tirzepatide 2.5 mg: what it costs per month
219 sellers publish a price that is true at 2.5 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 2.5 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 2.5 mg, restated as a real calendar month from the seller’s own billing cycle.
Where 2.5 mg sits on the label
2.5 mg is the first rung of the Zepbound label's schedule, the dose every patient starts on, taken once weekly for weeks 1 to 4. The label treats it as a dose for getting started, not one to stay on, so a seller whose price climbs with the dose charges its lowest figure here, and the month that matters is the one at the dose you settle on.
216 sellers publish a monthly price that holds at 2.5 mg, from $86 to $649, with the middle at $273. Just one seller publishes a price for 2.5 mg alone; the rest charge one price at every dose.

What 2.5 mg is on a syringe
A unit is a mark on the barrel, not an amount of medicine. On a U-100 syringe 2.5 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 2.5 mg |
|---|---|
| 4.17 mg/mL | 60 |
| 8.33 mg/mL | 30 |
| 12.5 mg/mL | 20 |
| 16.7 mg/mL | 15 |
| 20.8 mg/mL | 12 |
| 25 mg/mL | 10 |
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 2.5 mg
- How much does compounded tirzepatide 2.5 mg cost per month?
- Across the 216 sellers priced at 2.5 mg whose true monthly cost we can compute, the range is $86 to $649 a month and the middle of the market is $273. 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 219 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 2.5 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 2.5 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 2.5 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.
