How to Save Money on Rybelsus (oral semaglutide)

Written by Lucia Mueller | Posted November 23, 2022 | Updated January 18, 2024

Oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) is used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Per the FDA news release upon its approval in September 2019, “Rybelsus is the first glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) receptor protein treatment approved for use in the United States that does not need to be injected.” There are many patents issued during the development of a drug; as of this writing, the drug product patent on Rybelsus will expire in December 2031. 

Although you may be covered by your private insurance or Medicare, coupons or ordering internationally could help offset the cost of your entire prescription drug therapy bill. 

Rybelsus International Price Comparison

International pharmacies sell and ship Rybelsus for as much as 82% off the average U.S. retail pharmacy price. The phrase “Canadian pharmacy” has become synonymous with cheaper medication for U.S. residents, but we at PharmacyChecker have seen prices increase slowly but surely even North of the border. Although patients can save 63% by ordering Rybelsus from Canadian online pharmacies, they’ll find 75% off by ordering through an online pharmacy located in the United Kingdom and as much as 82% savings when opting for an Indian online pharmacy. 

Comparing Rybelsus (semaglutide) Costs

Drug Strength (Quantity) U.S. Average Retail Price U.S. Prescription Discount Card Price Canadian Pharmacy Price (with shipping) UK Pharmacy Price (with shipping) Indian Pharmacy Price (with shipping)
Rybelsus 7mg (30 tablets) $1,061.47 $631.94 $389.35 $267.69 $186.31

Prices collected November 2022

All prices compared on PharmacyChecker.com are of pharmacies accredited and monitored through our PharmacyChecker Verification Program, led by Jeffrey Poirier, RPh, MBA, a licensed pharmacist in New Hampshire. Most Rybelsus products marketed internationally appear to be under the umbrella of Novo Nordisk manufacturing, a good indicator that whether you order Rybelsus from a PharmacyChecker-accredited pharmacy located in India, the UK, India, or Australia, you’ll be receiving the exact same brand medication you would get at your local U.S. pharmacy. The only difference appears to be pricing and perhaps a less than speedy delivery time.

I apologize to be writing on the review page
I am a pensioner, from South Africa. I'm looking for the best price for Xarelto. The state hospital prescribed Warfarin. I am totally allergic to warfarin

Please can you advise which is affordable to a pensioner.

Regards

Simplest and easiest site ever I had so much anxiety first being diagnosed with cancer and then getting on this medication I was not able to afford the real medication I could only get the generic so I came online and I found Canadian pharmacy store. Com, which made that medicine very affordable for me to purchase in a couple of easy steps also The chat with Marilyn S. Answered all my questions from who is the manufacture of my medication's to my prescription size and shipping time just everything thank you so much

We just ordered for my 90 year-old Mom. In the U.S. generics are not always available. So using PharmacyChecker we felt that its member pharmacy vendors were vetted. This reassurance of reliability took much of the guess work out of our shopping task.

This website provides very helpful information on ordering medications from non-U.S. Sources. We save 50% to 60% on name brand meds that are not available in generic forms in the U.S. We have saved thousands over the years.

I feel safe ordering from a pharmaceutical company outside of the U S because the prescription I am using is exactly the same as those sold in the U S, however, the price is totally different. What I had paid in the U S for 90 pills listed at almost $500. For which I have been paying $72. From a Canadian company for 5 or 6 years now, the price includes shipping and is sometimes negotiable.

This happens to be a very good pharmacy that delivers name brand meds at a reasonable price. All of the meds that I have purchased through this pharmacy have been the exact product my doctor listed. All of the products were labeled with original manufacturer's identity and location with date of manufacture and expiration. I am certainly glad that I found this pharmacy. Great job.

I recommend it to many people. It sure saved us a lot and we learned a lot. The discount card saved us, too at Kroger.

I have been able to source several meds, at 10% of the american pharma cost. I have no doubt that I bought them where american pharma buys them, and then rapes the public. Thank you p checker

I am happy to see the entities that are endorsed by you. But I did have a horrendous experience with Canadian Pharmacy with my latest order. After switching the location from which my order was to be chipped, the order was and still is being held by US Customs. They did give me a replacement order which I finally did receive but that order was submitted MUCH later than it should have been. Bottom line, I waited OVER THREE MONTHS for my med to finally be delivered and that cost me more money to piece meal samples from my doc and out of pocket for short term needs. And, the order I did receive cost me MORE for FEWER tablets. I know Covid-19 played a part in this fiasco but the supplier simply DID NOT PREFORM!
