Is this for realz?

[RetaGo633]

Is what I'm seeing real?

 

[GymWin917]

They're charging the same price as the manufacturer. So, yeah, unfortunately.

 

[Bobby_97]

Still a rip-off. I get my custom-mixed GLP-1 for about $140 monthly.

 

[Rory_2004]

Doesn't Ozempic's patent expire soon? I heard generics are coming, so who cares?

 

[Chris02]

I shell out $250 Canadian every month for mine.

 

[SunnyJourney]

I'm getting it for practically half the cost at a compounding pharmacy for a one-month supply.

I heard that rumor ages ago, and I'm still waiting.

 

[Maxie1993]

You don't even need a membership card to use the pharmacy at Costco.

 

[RetaGo633]

That's interesting info.

I have a copay of $25 at Costco with my insurance. They've repeatedly said they don't profit off Ozempic due to low insurance compensation. Maybe the company compensates them for these sales without insurance.

 

[GymWin917]

Not a great deal, really.

 

[Bobby_97]

Is that for the US or up north in Canada?

 

[Rory_2004]

It's already readily available at that price with GoodRx at a lot of pharmacies.

 

[Chris02]

I spend $260 for a 10-week source of the compounded stuff.

 

[SunnyJourney]

I have to get mine via mail (a certain company) or Walgreens, a 90-day source, which doesn't benefit me (or the insurance company) in any way.

 

[Blair]

Kaiser charges me over $800 for at least 2mg or 3mg of it.

 

[Bobby_97]

I've been keeping my GLP-1 use on the down low too. Only my partner knows. I don't want others judging my medical choices. Good luck to everyone on their weight loss journey!

 

[SunnyJourney]

I also don't tell many people I'm on it. I don't want to hear the constant questions about weight loss progress. Plus, some people act like it's cheating, which is ridiculous.

 

[RetaGo633]

I tell everybody. People should understand that this stuff is effective. The lady at the membership card check at Costco looked at me last week and remarked on how much weight I dropped. I responded that it was a miracle medication. Even the diabetes doctor's staff asked me to confirm my birthday because I look so different. I informed her and everybody in the waiting area that it was the magic of the medication. There's no shame in taking medication.

 

[Rory_2004]

Ozempic is also losing Paton in January. There will be a generic one. And way cheaper so not really a big deal either way

True, but it's more than just weight loss. I've had way more energy since starting. It's like a miracle!

 

[Chris02]

Interesting. I've noticed the appetite suppression right away. Less inflammation is a big bonus, too.
