Ozempic, Wegovy now available at Costco

Popular weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy are now available at Costco at a steep discount. Costco members with a prescription will pay $499 per month for the GLP-1 medications, the same price offered at CVS and Walmart. Last month, Ozempic and Wegovy manufacturer Novo Nordisk said it would lower the cost to $499 per month (down from $1,000 for Ozempic and $1,350 for Wegovy) through its NovoCare Pharmacy and at more than 70,000 pharmacies nationwide. “Let’s not forget that there are some patients who pay out of pocket for this vital medicine,” Novo Nordisk Executive Vice President Dave Moore said at the time, noting that the company was taking measures to raise awareness of potentially unsafe knockoffs.
