Novo Nordisk announced Monday that US patients can now get a month’s supply of Ozempic, the blockbuster diabetes drug, for $499, for those who pay for medications on their own and don’t go through insurance.

Novo Nordisk said on Monday it was offering its diabetes drug Ozempic for $499 per month to eligible cash-paying patients with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. via its own pharmacy, a tie-up with telehealth service GoodRx and other platforms.

Novo Nordisk reduces Ozempic's price to $499/month for self-paying patients, enhancing access to essential diabetes treatment and ensuring patient safety.
