GLP-1 Price Vietnam: Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Retatrutide Compared

How Much Does Ozempic Cost in Vietnam?

In a Vietnamese pharmacy, branded Ozempic is dispensed by the box on a prescription: a Long Chau pharmacist priced one box, a single 3 ml pen, at 4,750,000 VND, about $190, when we checked on 30 July 2026. The same molecule as research-grade semaglutide is bought by message from Peptara Labs, where the price moves with the vial rather than sitting at a fixed monthly rate.

Those figures come straight from our semaglutide Vietnam guide. That guide publishes no price for the supervised hospital route, so ask the clinic. For scale, Novo Nordisk sets a US list price of $1,027.51 a pen, and its own NovoCare pharmacy charges uninsured cash buyers $349 a month for the lower-dose pens and $499 for the 2 mg, read 22 October 2026. 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 real choice on this page is the route, not the price. One route buys a registered brand and a doctor to supervise it. The other buys the molecule alone and leaves the checking to you. What semaglutide is and how it works has its own compound profile.

What Does Mounjaro Cost in Vietnam?

There is no registered Mounjaro price in Vietnam, and the reason is regulatory rather than commercial. Dr. Nguyen Van Loi, head of drug registration at the Drug Administration of Vietnam, told domestic press on 10 July 2026 that Mounjaro has not been granted a Vietnamese marketing authorisation certificate, and that products in that position are not eligible for legal import or circulation in Vietnam. No registered hospital or pharmacy route exists for the branded pen, so there is no registered supply to price. Vietnam publishes declared wholesale prices only for registered medicines, which means a drug with no registration has no declared price to look up. That is a registration position, not a temporary stock gap.

So the useful question about any Mounjaro figure you are quoted is which channel it came from, not whether it sounds high or low. 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 point to is the research-grade route, which is the route that actually exists here, through Peptara Labs and covered in the tirzepatide Vietnam guide. Its tirzepatide price depends on the vial, so there is no single pharmacy-style number; you ask Peptara Labs directly for a current one.

On the pharmacy channel there is no tirzepatide figure to compare, because it holds no registration. Which of the two suits 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.

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. The research-grade route here is Peptara Labs, and because retatrutide is priced by vial rather than by month, this page will not rank it by monthly cost against the other two compounds; for a live number you message Peptara Labs. The GLP-1 overview frames the same compound in its wider comparison.

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. Our supply partner Peptara Labs sells research-grade retatrutide in 20 mg vials with a batch certificate of analysis.

How Do GLP-1 Prices in Vietnam Compare Side by Side?

Only semaglutide has a hospital or pharmacy price in Vietnam. All three reach the research route through Peptara Labs, which quotes each vial by message, so that column carries no figures:

The research column carries no price at all, because the research-grade route runs through Peptara Labs by message and each vial is quoted on request, so printing a monthly figure would be inventing one. Where a page on this site publishes a branded range, we quote that range and cite it. Nothing in this table 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; the research-grade route buys the same molecule without the supervision, and shifts the burden of verification onto the buyer.

Neither route is automatically right or wrong. On the clinic route, you pay for a doctor who can screen for contraindications and manage side effects. That matters if you have underlying conditions. The research route exists because 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:

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:

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.
