This is the largest cost and it varies by pharmacy and by your dose. You collect it at any pharmacy in South Africa, so you can shop around. Because most people start low and step up, early months often cost less than later ones.
Done at your pathology lab and usually claimable from your medical savings account, so many people pay little or nothing out of pocket. Recent bloods can often be reused.
A private obesity consultation in South Africa typically runs around R1,000, and standalone coaching apps start near R600 a month — usually as separate bills. With Weight Loss Doctors, the consultation, your follow-ups, the dose plan, the lab form and ongoing coaching are all included for R299 a month. Prefer to pay annually?
