Last year, I launched an investigation into the outrageous price Novo Nordisk charges for Wegovy.
Novo now says it will cut Wegovy’s price for the uninsured from $1,349 to $499.
This is a modest step forward. But Novo must do better.
Wegovy can be purchased for $92 in the U.K.

Comments
Currently manufacturers of compounds are taking up to 40% of Novo’s American market. They’re leaches and who knows what are in the drugs
Not every overweight person eats poorly, but most of those that develop T2D do.
Still a lot cheaper than the US though and given at lower doses, completely free, to many diabetics on the NHS.
@aoc.bsky.social
In Germany costs 170€, and it is a non-covered treatment.
Make them vote NO!

Price is high in 🇺🇸 because your system is rotten
Your rotten president is threatening Denmark and critiquing us, yet somehow a Danish pharmaceutical company has to give you its drugs cheap… Get rid of the intermediaries
Charge them!
Actions and actionable guidance is what we need right now.
My wife gets it on a free prescription as it is a diabetes drug.
She doesn't even pay the UK standard £9.75 for ALL prescription meds.
Your insurance companies and for profit healthcare system are probably to blame for why you get screwed over on cost.
It must be stressful and expensive.
People are leaving TWITTER because Elon Musk is LIMITING accounts! Tell people they have way more Freedom here at (BLUE SKY).
FUCK Elon Musk and Donald Trump!
We must STOP them ! 😍
But…baby steps.
We should not be paying the highest price for nearly every drug ever made in the whole world.
You threaten Denmark with taking Greenland. You call our PM nasty. You call us a bad allied though our soldiers fought and died for America in Iraq and-
Yet is the responsibility of a Danish pharmaceutical company to help fat Americans lose weight?
Novo has spent billions developing Wegovy. And is spending billions on production facilities. Also in the US.
Fix your system. And pay the price
Apparently, other countries are being "unfair" to American pharmaceuticals and should raise their prices immediately (or face "tariffs")
Money, money, money.
🙄

US citizens are not the responsibility of a Danish company. Sanders should fix the 🇺🇸 system instead of criticizing Novo
CEO said he’d welcome price cuts if the discount went to the consumers. I don’t think Novo ever heard back from the 🇺🇸 politicians on that….
Not necessarily how I'd like to paint Bernie Sanders, but in this case, it seems fitting.
But isn’t the problem the greedy middlemen in the USA?
Outside USA it is cheaper.
Wegovy and Ozempic are made by Novo Nordisk, a Danish Company.
You do realize that Greenland is a Danish independent territory???
Yeah THAT Greenland.
Denmark is a NATO ally of Canada.
Yeah THAT Canada.
Do better America.
#ElbowsUp
It’s cheaper in the rest of the world because the 🇺🇸 healthcare system is fucked
The CEO explained this very well. The other politicians understood it, not Bernie
Instead you are focussing on one that doesn't work and isn't needed. 82 deaths and +5500 severe side effects reported in UK already linked to GLP1s
Really Bernie, can you blame them???
BERNIE IS WATCHING YOU NOVO!
Perhaps after mid-term you can Open a few More Investigations!💗
In Trump's economy???
Europe bans pharma ads on TV
Awiqli, Tresiba, Xultophy, Levemir, Insulatard, Actrapid, Midgard, Ryzodeg, NovoMix, Rybelsus, Victoza, Ozempic, Fiasp, NovoRapid, NovoNorm, GlucaGen…
How many insulin drugs do you think Novo should offer? When they stop some of them, it’s because they offer others instead.
It’s also mostly owned by Novo Nordisk Foundation which is a charity foundation. Much revenues go here.
They also given free insulin out in several African countries.
Not every insulin does the same thing. most of the ones you listed have vastly different uses depending on the kind of insulin regime a person is on. Some people react differently to different insulins and can't use some types.
Their value have been cut in more than half since last summer.
3k, I could have shipped them from the UK for half that, but no one will service them if you don’t buy the aides from them. It’s a racket.

What is left in the bag of tricks and techniques besides ‘Harsh Words’?
Just sayin
Something has to stop these 2. And it must be fast.
Second: the food industry also develops medicines like Wegovy.
See the picture?
Wake up - it doesn't have to be like that.
Like it's 1946!
Novo has lowered the price often and will keep doing so
🇺🇸law is currently letting compounders produce a “look a like” who isn’t tested and no one knows what’s in it. It’s taking up to 40% of the 🇺🇸market
Novo has high expenses for R&D & building new factories
Also, stop fucking eating unhealthy food, and too much of it, and maybe you won't need Wegovy at all.
A country that for decades stood side by side with you in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Excuse me for not giving a fuck about any of you at this point.
You (as a nation) did vote for this.
Sorry, not sorry, I am fresh out of sympathy with any and all Americans at this point.
I have lived in the US, though it is way back when the general American were sane and the food were better,
