What Foundayo™ costs over a year
Most patients begin at the lowest dose and titrate up over the first few months as their body adjusts. Because medication price scales with dose, your monthly cost typically rises during titration and then levels off at your maintenance dose.
≈ $2,136 – $3,936 / first year
From $178/mo at the starting dose to about $328/mo at the highest maintenance dose — membership and medication included.
The $29/month membership is the same the day you start as the day you stop. Want to model your exact path? Try the GLP-1 cost calculator.
