Novo Nordisk offers discounts on Wegovy as ban on copycats takes effect

Novo Nordisk said on Thursday it would offer temporary discounts to cash-paying customers for its weight-loss drug Wegovy, in a move that coincides with a deadline for halting sales of cheaper compounded versions.

TLDR; $199 first month, $499 thereafter,.

In line w/ what Lilly is proposing for zepbound. These companies are delusional. they would make a killing @ $199 indefinartely but i guess they are afraid to lower it too much that insurance when covered would stop paying full retail to them. The system is broken.

Such a great point! Such greediness!

Wegovy will soon be a dinosaur if prices don't come down soon. In the tar pits with liraglutude.

I know too many upper middle class women to ever believe that they will stop selling Wegovy.

That's why Zepbound is partnering with Massage Envy to give a 90-minute massage with the first prescription

This feels so sleazy. Like a used car salesman or something.

Like I mentioned before, on another post with Zepbound, if EL and now, NN were to lower their prices, they would have so many more, millions of patients purchasing their meds. If they can only ease up a bit more. Their greed is sickening!

Only to be outdone by Nexaph's single vial pricing

 

[Iamnew2this]

I do think those single vials are priced a little high, though.

It’s pretty cheap in many other countries. They charge us their insane amounts in the US because they know our level of vanity, and our penchant for convenience.

I do agree with that statement somewhat, to a point. Other countries have different health-care systems and don't need the extensive testing involved. Whereas, in the states, there are so many trials that have to be done and other countries accept these meds because the testing here is well known. A lot of money go into these meds when experimenting and trialing. In the states we have our independent insurance at all different levels and other countries do not have these different levels. The other countries did not have to go through such extensive experimenting and trials also so, there is no money lost either for them. In the states these pharmaceutical companies try and recoup the money and so, charge us more here in the states where all these trials and approvals take place. These companies also are and have been for many years aware of our private insurance and how our health-care system works. For this reason, the price gouging comes into play. Our insurance has the right to pay for, partially pay for, or refuse to pay for these life changing meds altogether. Other countries do things the way they do health-care and this country does things the way we do it here. Is it fair, I don't think so. I don't feel that it's fair how "Big Pharma" operates. I don't want to get political, I don't want to insult anyone, either. I certainly don't know everything but this is just the gist of things on the surface. If anyone would like to add or correct anything that I have just said, please do so. I know that I have just scratched the surface and do not want to get political or upset anyone. If I did insult anyone, I am sorry, and did not mean to do so. This is hearsay and my opinion. I am not an angry person however, I do not like price gouging. I'm sorry my text was so long winded.
