Major retailer to offer weight-loss jabs at discounted price

Costco Novo Nordisk
  • Costco has partnered with Novo Nordisk to offer popular GLP-1 medications, Ozempic and Wegovy, at a discounted price.
  • The drugs will be available for £499 at 600 Costco pharmacies, specifically for members not using insurance.
  • This price matches what is offered directly by Novo Nordisk and other retailers like CVS and Walgreens.
  • Ozempic is approved for diabetes and Wegovy for obesity, though both contain semaglutide and have seen a surge in popularity for weight loss.
  • While praised by some experts for expanding access, concerns remain about the high cost and limited insurance coverage for many patients.
