Typical costs for weight loss injections (GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide) in Germany range from €150–400 per month when paid out-of-pocket. Health insurance covers them only for type 2 diabetes or severe obesity (BMI >40) after a special application. Additional costs include nutritional counseling (€50–100 per session) and possibly supplements (e.g., vitamin D, B12) because reduced appetite can lead to nutrient gaps. Many providers market 'starter packs' or 'top-up' plans that are often overpriced. Crucially, the injection does not replace sustainable dietary changes; without nutritional support, weight regain is common after discontinuation. Evidence for short-term efficacy is strong, but long-term cost-effectiveness varies. Always consult a physician before starting.
