Ozempic Price in the UAE by Dose (0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg)

Quick answer: Ozempic price in the UAE by dose

In the UAE, Ozempic is priced per dose at the pharmacy. At Endocare, the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg pens are AED 744, and the 1 mg pen is AED 1,146, with no markup and free delivery. The exact monthly cost depends on the dose your specialist prescribes. One important point to know up front: Ozempic is a diabetes medication, and it is prescribed for weight loss only when it is clinically appropriate.

Ozempic price by dose

Here is the per-dose breakdown of Ozempic pricing in the UAE. These are medication prices at the pharmacy.

Note: prices are confirmed at consultation and can change. The 0.25 mg dose is a starting dose used to ease you onto the medicine, not a long-term maintenance dose. Higher strengths beyond those listed are not consistently available in UAE retail, so your specialist will advise on what is offered.

Why the price changes as the dose goes up

Ozempic treatment starts at a low dose and increases in steps. The 0.25 mg dose is an introductory step that helps reduce early stomach side effects, and most people move up from there. As the dose increases toward 1 mg, the medication price increases too, which is why a single monthly figure can be misleading. The right way to think about your cost is to look at the dose you are actually prescribed.

What the price does and does not include

The medication price versus the program price

The prices above are for the medication itself. Endocare does not add any markup to the official pharmacy price, so you pay the medication price, not an inflated clinic price. The medical care around the medicine, such as specialist consultations, lifestyle coaching, and a body-composition analysis at each visit, is part of the Endocare program. As part of our weight loss pricing package that includes Wegovy or Ozempic, the price starts from AED 1,990 per month.

No markup and free delivery

Delivery is free for all patients, typically same-day in Dubai and within 48 hours across the UAE. Endocare does not earn on the medication itself, so the delivery is purely for your convenience.

An important note: Ozempic is a diabetes medication

Ozempic is semaglutide, originally developed and licensed to treat type 2 diabetes. For weight loss specifically, it is generally prescribed only when there is a qualifying reason, such as diabetes or pre-diabetes. If you do not have a qualifying diagnosis, your specialist may recommend a medicine that is licensed for weight loss instead. This is a clinical decision, made after assessment, and it also affects whether insurers will reimburse the medicine.

Ozempic versus Wegovy on cost

Ozempic and Wegovy are the same molecule, semaglutide, but they are licensed and dosed differently. If you are comparing them on price, the Wegovy cost page sets out Wegovy’s per-dose pricing, and our Ozempic versus Wegovy guide explains the clinical differences. For weight loss, Wegovy is the version licensed for that purpose, so it is often the more relevant option, while Ozempic remains a diabetes medicine. Your specialist will guide which one fits your situation.

Is Ozempic covered by insurance in the UAE?

Coverage depends on your plan and your diagnosis. Because Ozempic is a diabetes medication, it is more likely to be reimbursed when prescribed for diabetes or pre-diabetes, and less likely when used purely for weight loss. Many UAE insurers cover consultations and blood tests, subject to your policy. After your visit, Endocare provides the documents you need to submit a claim, but the final decision rests with your insurer. Check directly with your insurance provider.

How to start with Ozempic at Endocare

Getting started begins with a specialist assessment and a review of recent blood tests. If Ozempic is appropriate for you, your specialist sets a starting dose and a step-up plan, and the medication is delivered free. You then attend monthly follow-ups with a body-composition analysis and lifestyle coaching. Patients in Dubai can find clinic details and local pricing context on our Ozempic in Dubai page, or you can begin with a GLP-1 weight loss consultation in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
