Ozempic price in Spain: how much it costs per pen and per month in 2026

There is no single price for Ozempic in Spain in 2026: it depends on the presentation and the number of doses in the pen. This is what is known about the cost per pen, the approximate cost per 4 weeks and how public funding works.

Ozempic precio en España: cuánto cuesta por pluma y al mes en 2026

Short answer

In Spain, Ozempic (semaglutide) costs €117.89 per four-dose pen in the 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg strengths, and €204.83 for the 1 mg pen with eight doses, according to the Ministry of Health's Nomenclátor for September 2026. Because it is injected once a week, a four-dose pen lasts about four weeks. It requires a prescription and is only funded, with prior authorisation, in specific cases of type 2 diabetes.

Key points

  1. The 1 mg pen with eight doses covers eight weeks and works out at about €102.42 every four weeks, compared with €117.89 for the four-dose pen (Ministry of Health Nomenclátor).
  2. Funding from the Spanish National Health System is restricted and requires prior authorisation: type 2 diabetes in people with a BMI ≥30 kg/m² and on combination therapy with other diabetes medicines, not as monotherapy (BIFIMED, Ministry of Health).
  3. The AEMPS summary of product characteristics authorises Ozempic for adults with type 2 diabetes as an adjunct to diet and exercise; the semaglutide brand authorised for weight management is a different one, Wegovy.
  4. According to the summary of product characteristics, the efficacy and safety of 0.5 and 1 mg weekly were assessed in six phase 3a trials involving 7,215 patients with type 2 diabetes, 4,107 of whom were treated with semaglutide.

Ozempic price per pen and per four weeks

Retail prices including VAT from the official Nomenclátor for September 2026; the cost per four weeks spreads the price of the pen over the weeks it covers with one dose a week.

If you are looking up the price of Ozempic in Spain, the short answer is that not every pen costs the same and that the monthly cost depends on the presentation. It is also worth separating two issues: its retail price and its funding status, which in Spain is restricted.

What is the price of an Ozempic pen in Spain in 2026

As of September 2026, the retail price including VAT of Ozempic in Spain is €117.89 for the 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg and 1 mg presentations with 4 doses. The 1 mg presentation with 8 doses costs €204.83. The 2 mg presentation is not listed as marketed in the AEMPS register and does not appear in the Nomenclátor, so it currently has no published pharmacy price.

Put simply, talking about “the price of an Ozempic pen” can be misleading, because it depends on how many doses that presentation contains and on the strength involved. The product documentation itself also states that not all pack sizes may be marketed.

How much Ozempic costs per month

Since a pen with 4 weekly doses is in practice equivalent to about 4 weeks of treatment, the approximate cost per 4 weeks is €117.89 for the 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg and 1 mg presentations when a 4-dose pen is used.

There is one important exception: the 1 mg presentation with 8 doses costs €204.83 and covers 8 weeks, which works out at about €102.42 per 4 weeks. That is why it is not correct to say that the monthly cost is always €117.89.

If you want to understand where this medicine sits within its class, it may help to read GLP-1: what they are, how they work and why they are transforming the treatment of obesity. And if you are looking for the regulatory context and how this brand is used, there is a broader guide in Ozempic in Spain: what it is, how it works and who can take it.

Is Ozempic funded in Spain

Yes, but on a restricted basis. Ozempic is funded by the Spanish National Health System with prior authorisation (visado) for certain patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, people with obesity with a BMI ≥30 kg/m² and on combination therapy with other diabetes medicines; monotherapy is not included.

This does not mean it is funded for weight loss as a general use, nor that anyone can obtain it with public cover. It is also worth remembering that Ozempic is authorised in Spain for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise. The semaglutide brand authorised specifically for weight management is Wegovy.

In people with related metabolic disorders, the conversation often overlaps with topics such as prediabetes and how it is managed or metabolic syndrome and why it develops, because the clinical context matters more than looking at the price alone.

What is known about its efficacy according to the Spanish summary of product characteristics

The Spanish summary of product characteristics records that the efficacy and safety of once-weekly semaglutide 0.5 mg and 1 mg were assessed in 6 randomised, controlled phase 3a clinical trials involving 7,215 patients with type 2 diabetes, of whom 4,107 received semaglutide.

In addition, compared with placebo, the summary of product characteristics reports relative reductions of 22% in fasting glucose and 37% in 2-hour postprandial glucose in certain pharmacodynamic analyses. These data help explain why the medicine has a clinical role in type 2 diabetes, although on their own they do not answer the question of how much it costs or whether it is funded in each case.

The key point, in one sentence

The key idea is simple: the price of Ozempic in Spain in 2026 varies by presentation, and public funding exists only in specific situations, not as general access for weight loss. If what you are really looking for is guidance on whether medical treatment for weight loss or metabolic health suits your case, in Spain today that involves a prior assessment, a prescription where appropriate from a registered doctor and ongoing follow-up. You can check in a few minutes whether you are eligible.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy Ozempic without a prescription in Spain?

No. Ozempic is a prescription-only medicine in Spain, whether it is dispensed with public funding and prior authorisation or paid for in full. What differs between the two cases is who pays, not the need for a prescription.

How long does an Ozempic pen last?

On the weekly schedule, a four-dose pen covers about four weeks and an eight-dose pen eight weeks. Once in use, the summary of product characteristics gives four-dose pens a shelf life of 6 weeks and eight-dose pens 8 weeks.

Does the Spanish public health system pay for Ozempic if I have obesity but not diabetes?

No. Funding with prior authorisation requires type 2 diabetes, a BMI of 30 kg/m² or more and combination therapy with other diabetes medicines; monotherapy is not covered either. Outside those cases there is no public cover and the patient bears the cost.

Can Ozempic be used for weight loss in Spain?

Ozempic is authorised in Spain for adults with type 2 diabetes, not as a treatment for obesity. The semaglutide brand authorised for weight management is Wegovy, and whether a treatment suits each case is decided by a doctor after an assessment.
