Ozempic price drop?

[BoldPal]

Has anyone seen this? https://www.ft.com/content/825a4fb6-1f41-4f89-b2fb-5d344f48afa1

I didn't see it posted, so here it is. I'm fortunate enough to have decent insurance, but hopefully this will help others

So, what's the bottom line?

I heard its only like $100 per pen somewhere else.

Prices here are ridiculous.

Check out the Ozempic website. They have a savings section. It's either through their own pharmacy that delivers, or you can pick it up locally. You still need a script though.

I saw on GoodRx, you have to swear you have zero insurance, like no Medicare or Medicaid, not just that you pay out of pocket. That's annoying since Medicare doesn't usually cover weight loss stuff. I need to find out more from my pharmacy.

That article is behind a paywall, like $80 a month.

Can you copy and paste the important part?

The stock market seems to know what's up https://au.finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVO/?err=1

It's around $275 at my pharmacy in Canada. I use the starter pen and got extra needles and it lasts me for almost two months, so it's like $140 a month. It's really worth it to me. But cheaper would be amazing since my insurance won't pay for it.

 

[BoldPal]

Still too much. They'd still be making a killing if it was like, $175.

The patent is expiring soon, maybe January? So generics will be here, at least in Canada.

 

[RXPete]

I heard they are getting sued for a lot of money, people are losing their vision supposedly.

Can I buy Ozempic in Copenhagen when I'm there next month?

 

[SparkleStacy_RX]

And the prices are going up in Canada now.

They want to drop the price here, so they are raising them there. The big bosses still get paid, and we get screwed.

I guess Trump's threats worked. All that talk about tariffs on the big drug companies is paying off.

I'm waiting for someone to blame Trump now.

I saw an article about the cost of prescriptions in other countries. Australia is cheap!

That is pretty messed up. What if you have insurance that just doesn't cover it?

 

[RXPete]

I'm only paying 25 bucks a month, with a coupon. Without the coupon, it's around 65. Thank goodness I found that!

I found another med, Ipamorelin, that helps people lose weight. Anyone know how much it is?

I'm meeting with my doctor next week to discuss adding ipamorelin to my regimen. Can anyone give me a general cost of using this peptide?

I pay around a hundred per month for it myself.
