- NOVO NORDISK cuts weight loss drug Wegovy to $ 499 per month for cash payments purchased through Novocare Pharmacy.
- Discounted prices are for patients who are not covered by insurance patients and insurance, such as Wegovy.
- This movement leads to a similar price cut for the competitor ELI Lilly’s weight loss drug MOUNJARO.
Rival NOVO NORDISK said ZEPBOUND-MAKER Eli Lilly will lower the price of weight loss drugs for less than two weeks and reduce the price of popular weight loss drugs for cash payers.
Novo Nordisk said that patients with Wegovy can buy obesity drugs for $ 499 a month through the company’s Novocare Pharmacy. Injectable drug prices are the same for five doses in the range of 0.25 to 2.4 milligrams and are delivered directly to the consumer’s home.
Denmark’s pharmaceutical company said that new prices can appeal to people without insurance and that insurance can be appealed to those who do not deal with GLP -1’s obese drugs or glucagon -like peptide -1 drugs.
Health insurers often deal with diabetes drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro, but they are less likely to cover drugs for obesity. According to a 2024 survey by the benefit consultant Mercer, less than half of the large employers applied GLP-1 drugs to obesity. This means that consumers often face a large bill for drugs that pay more than $ 1,000 a month before rebate or discounts.
How can you buy a discounted Wegovy?
The discount price of Novo Nordisk is provided only to consumers who buy drugs through the company’s Novocare Pharmacy. Cash payments can be purchased for $ 650 at other pharmacies. Jamie Bennett, a spokesman for Novo Nordisk, said the company plans to expand the price of $ 499 to other pharmacies, “in the near future.”
Wegovy’s list price still remains $ 1,349 for 1 month supply. The company usually pays less than $ 25 a month, and customers who guarantee obese drugs generally say the company said.

Lily’s price depends on the dose. Customers who buy a monthly supply of 2.5 mg vials pay $ 349 and 5 mg of vials are $ 499.
Lilly also announced a higher dose of 7.5 mg and 10 mg at a monthly price of $ 599 and $ 699, respectively. The higher dosage price is $ 499 per month for the first filling, and you will receive a refilled refill within 45 days.
Price cuts arrive as consumers are expected to lose access to low -cost composite versions of weight loss pharmaceuticals.
The federal government allows pharmacies to sell copies of drugs when drugs are insufficient. However, the FDA recently declared that blockbuster weight loss drugs were no longer lacking. In other words, consumers who visit a remote healthy company or other prescribers must obtain drugs elsewhere to get a cheap and complex version.
