GLP-1 Price Vietnam: Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Retatrutide Compared
What do GLP-1 medications cost in Vietnam? Peptides Vietnam compares all three side by side: branded Ozempic runs 3.5 to 6 million VND ($140 to $240) a month through the hospital route, research-grade semaglutide 1.5 to 2.5 million VND ($60 to $100), Mounjaro has no single published pharmacy price, and retatrutide is research-only. Each figure is quoted from the drug's own guide, where the single-brand detail lives.
Which GLP-1 is cheapest in Vietnam? Research-grade semaglutide, at 1.5 to 2.5 million VND ($60 to $100) a month. Tirzepatide and retatrutide both land higher on the community supply index.
What is the biggest price red flag? A quote far below every published range. In this market the bait price is the most common signal of a counterfeit or diverted product.

How Much Does Ozempic Cost in Vietnam?
Ozempic in Vietnam costs 3.5 to 6 million VND ($140 to $240) per month through the hospital and clinic route, and 1.5 to 2.5 million VND ($60 to $100) per month as research-grade semaglutide, the same molecule in a different regulatory category.
Those ranges come straight from our semaglutide Vietnam guide, which also lists a middle channel: a private doctor source at 3 to 4 million VND ($120 to $160) per month. For context, the same guide puts the US cash price at $900 to $1,100 per month without insurance, so even the premium clinic route here lands at roughly a quarter of American pricing. The brand-level picture, including pharmacy availability, is in the Ozempic Vietnam guide, and the higher-dose weight-loss brand is covered separately in the Wegovy Vietnam guide.
The wide spread between the clinic price and the research-grade price is the whole story of this page. You are not comparing two products so much as two systems: one buys medical supervision and a registered brand, the other buys the molecule alone and puts the verification work on you. The molecule itself, what semaglutide is and how it works, has its own compound profile.
What Does Mounjaro Cost in Vietnam?
There is no single published Mounjaro price in Vietnam: branded pens are priced by the pharmacy or hospital that stocks them, and the figure moves with supply, so the honest answer is to confirm the cost at the point of purchase.
That is the position stated on our Mounjaro Vietnam guide, and this page will not invent a number the source page declines to publish. What the site does publish is a comparison figure for the research-grade route: the GLP-1 Vietnam overview table puts tirzepatide at around 4 to 5.5 million VND per month, and the community supply index lists tirzepatide at 4,700,000 VND (about $185). Read those as research-route figures, not pharmacy prices.
Tirzepatide sits above semaglutide on price across every channel this site tracks. The pharmacology behind that positioning, and whether the premium is justified for a given person, is a prescriber question; the compound-level comparison is in tirzepatide vs semaglutide.
What Does Retatrutide Cost in Vietnam?
Retatrutide has no pharmacy price anywhere, Vietnam included, because it is still in clinical trials with no approved version sold in any country; in Vietnam it is available only as a research-grade compound priced per vial.
Our retatrutide Vietnam guide states that the total cost, shipping included, sits well below what a month of branded GLP-1 medication costs in the US. For a concrete anchor, the community supply index lists retatrutide at 5,200,000 VND (about $205), and the GLP-1 overview comparison table places it around 5.2 million VND per month, the top of the three compounds on price.
Because every retatrutide source is research-grade by definition, there is no regulated channel to fall back on. That makes supplier vetting and independent testing the entire quality question, which is also the comparison made in retatrutide vs tirzepatide.
How Do GLP-1 Prices in Vietnam Compare Side by Side?
Semaglutide is the cheapest of the three on both routes, tirzepatide sits in the middle on the research route, and retatrutide is the most expensive and exists only on the research route:
| Compound | Hospital / clinic route | Research-grade route | Source page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide (Ozempic) | 3.5 to 6 million VND ($140 to $240) per month | 1.5 to 2.5 million VND ($60 to $100) per month | Semaglutide Vietnam guide |
| Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) | No single published pharmacy price; set by the pharmacy or hospital | Overview table puts it around 4 to 5.5 million VND per month; supply index lists 4,700,000 VND (~$185) | Mounjaro Vietnam guide |
| Retatrutide | None; still in trials, so no approved version exists anywhere | Priced per vial; supply index lists 5,200,000 VND (~$205) | Retatrutide Vietnam guide |
Two figures in the research column come from the community supply listings rather than a per-month range, and the table says so in the cell, because quoting a supplier listing as a monthly cost would be inventing a number. Where a page on this site publishes a range, we quote the range. Where it publishes a single listing, we quote the listing. Nothing here is extrapolated.
What Is the Difference Between the Hospital Route and the Research-Grade Route?
The hospital route buys a registered brand, a consultation, and medical supervision at a premium; the research-grade route buys the same molecule without the supervision, at a fraction of the price, and shifts the burden of verification onto the buyer.
Neither route is automatically right or wrong. The clinic premium pays for a doctor who can screen for contraindications and manage side effects, which matters if you have underlying conditions. The research route exists because the price gap is large and consistent supply matters to people paying out of pocket, but it sits outside the pharmacy framework, so the legal and quality context is on you to understand. Our guide on how to buy peptides in Vietnam covers the sourcing side, the supply index shows how the research market is organised, and peptide legality in Vietnam explains the regulatory frame both routes sit inside.
The price comparison on this page only means something once you have picked a route. Comparing a hospital Ozempic quote to a research-grade semaglutide listing is comparing two different products with two different risk profiles, not two prices for one thing.
Why Is a Too-Cheap GLP-1 Price a Red Flag?
A price far below every published range is the single most common signal of a counterfeit, underdosed, or diverted product, because genuine supply has a floor cost that no honest seller can undercut by half. The red flags that travel with a bait price:
- A quote half the published range or lessThe oldest bait there is. Real research-grade compounds can undercut pharmacy prices for legitimate reasons, but nobody undercuts the whole market by half and stays honest.
- No batch-specific certificate of analysisA seller at a suspicious price who also cannot produce a COA tied to your batch has answered the question twice.
- A document you cannot traceA generic PDF or screenshot with no lab name, no method, or a batch number that does not match the vial is paperwork, not proof.
- Pressure to decide fastUrgency pricing exists to stop you comparing the quote against published ranges like the ones on this page.
- No cold-chain storyGLP-1 peptides degrade with heat. A seller who cannot explain how the product was kept cold is selling on trust, not evidence.
This is not a theoretical risk. The World Health Organization issued a medical product alert in 2024 for falsified Ozempic found inside regulated supply chains, and the US FDA has repeatedly warned about counterfeit Ozempic seized outside the authorized chain. The full playbook for this market is in our guides to spotting a fake GLP-1 in Vietnam and counterfeit Ozempic in Vietnam.
How Do You Compare GLP-1 Prices Safely?
You compare GLP-1 prices safely by fixing the compound and route first, converting every quote to one unit, and verifying the product behind the price before the price means anything:
Fix the compound and route first
Decide whether you are comparing hospital-branded or research-grade, and which molecule. A semaglutide clinic quote and a retatrutide vial listing are not the same market.
Convert every quote to one unit
Bring each figure to a cost per month in VND, with the USD equivalent alongside. A per-vial listing and a per-month range only compare once they share a unit.
Check the quote against the published ranges
The ranges on this page are the reference points. A quote inside the range is normal; a quote far below it raises the burden of proof.
Verify the product behind the price
Ask for a batch-matched COA traceable to the lab that issued it. When you read a purity figure, remember that HPLC purity is a relative area-percent of the chromatogram, a different measure from net peptide content corrected for counterions and water.
Count the hidden costs
Consultations and bloodwork on the clinic route; shipping, cold chain, and independent testing on the research route. The supply index notes third-party lab analysis runs about $40 to $100 per batch, which belongs in any honest comparison.
Step four is where most comparisons fail, and it has its own guides: how to verify a peptide COA walks through the four checks, our explainer on why a COA matters makes the broader case, and the testing labs directory lists independent labs that will test the vial you actually received. The buyer verification checklist ties the whole process together.
The shortest version of this whole page: a GLP-1 price only means something after you know the compound, the route, and whether the product behind it is verified. Compare on all three, or you are comparing bait.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ozempic price in Vietnam right now?+
Branded Ozempic through an international hospital or clinic runs 3.5 to 6 million VND, about $140 to $240, per month, while a private doctor source runs 3 to 4 million VND, about $120 to $160. Research-grade semaglutide runs 1.5 to 2.5 million VND, about $60 to $100, per month. These are the ranges published on our semaglutide Vietnam guide.
Is Ozempic cheaper in Vietnam than in the US?+
Yes, by a wide margin. The published US reference price is $900 to $1,100 per month without insurance, while even the premium hospital route in Vietnam runs $140 to $240 per month. That makes the most expensive channel in Vietnam roughly a quarter of the US cash price.
Is there an official Mounjaro price in Vietnam?+
No. There is no single published price for branded Mounjaro in Vietnam, because imported prescription medicine prices are set by the pharmacy or hospital and move with supply. The accurate answer is to confirm the cost at the point of purchase with a licensed pharmacy. Anyone quoting a precise fixed figure without naming a live source is guessing.
Can you buy retatrutide in a Vietnam pharmacy?+
No. Retatrutide is still in clinical trials, so no approved pharmacy version exists anywhere in the world, Vietnam included. It is available only as a research-grade compound priced per vial, and the community supply index lists it at 5,200,000 VND, roughly $205. Because every source is research-grade, supplier vetting and independent testing matter more than the headline price.
Is the cheapest GLP-1 listing in Vietnam a good deal?+
Treat it as a red flag, not a bargain. A price far below every published range is the oldest bait in this market and the most common single signal of a counterfeit, underdosed, or diverted product. The lower the price, the higher the burden of proof: you want a batch-matched certificate of analysis traceable to an independent lab, or your own test of the vial, before trusting it.
