Novo Nordisk lowers Ozempic cost to $499 per month for uninsured U.S. patients, expanding access through NovoCare and 70,000 pharmacies.

Novo Nordisk and GoodRx announced a partnership this week to sell products Ozempic and Wegovy at half their normal cost to patients who pay for the medications with cash. Starting this week, customers will be able to buy a month’s supply of Novo Nordisk’s semaglutide pen products for $499 through GoodRx.

Novo Nordisk has reduced the price of its two semaglutide-based therapies – Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for obesity – to a price of $499 for those paying for the drugs out of pocket.
