Although weight loss agents may appeal to many, there is a cost burden that comes with this medication. Many of these medications cost around $1000 for just a 30-day supply but to see a significant weight change you would need coverage for several months. Insurance may not cover the cost because of the large population of eligibility, uncertainty of sustained weight loss, unknown side effects, and off-label use.
