GLP-1 Price Drops?

I've been holding off for what feels like forever because of the insane cost. Today, I finally picked up my prescription, and with a discount card, it was only $210!
 
That's awesome! I've seen the starting dosages around $200 if you pay out of pocket and use a discount. Congrats! Welcome! 🎉

Wow, why is it so expensive where you are? I only pay about 110 euros a month. Seems crazy!
Yeah, it's frustrating here. Insurance coverage is a nightmare, and without discounts, it's easily over $1000 a month. I'm thankful for any break I can get.
 
That would be incredible! I'm always checking for updates to see if the costs are dropping. I saw one website that is trying to collect comparison prices for different GLP-1s. That's really helpful.
 
The compounded market narrowing the price gap faster than anyone expected - that pressure is what's moving branded access too.
 
the BC pricing for branded GLP-1 is meaningful but the generic timeline is still uncertain enough that waiting vs paying for branded is genuinely a judgment call - biosimilar pathways in Canada run slower than small-molecule generics because the manufacturing complexity is higher. the people who got impatient and paid for branded aren't necessarily wrong; the generic approval and pricing relief timeline has been consistently optimistic in the forecasts and slower in reality
