Ozempic is like $800 a month, do the people spending that also go to Walmart?
- dharmab 3y agoYes 1. Health insurance caps the annual price to a few thousand dollars, which is worth the money for most people for the health and social advantages 2. Wealthy suburban families shop at Wal-Mart quite a lot
- thefourthchime 3y agoI'm love Walmart, great prices and return policy. Way less sketchy crap like Amazon has.
- homero 3y agoI wish Walmart didn't ruin their catalog with third party like Amazon did
- pclmulqdq 3y agoMany people who are taking ozempic are not doing it with a prescription. That would not generally be covered by insurance. Edit: I meant off-label, not without a prescription. Same treatment by insurance.
- nwiswell 3y ago... But if you're doing it illegally, you can pay way less money than you would for prescription Ozempic. There is a booming black market for bootleg Chinese Semaglutide (and Tirzepatide, and Retatrutide, and etc)
- fred_is_fred 3y agoCorrect - Every health "spa" in the US sells it for 30% of what the name brand is.
- AviationAtom 3y agoIf only that were the case. $800/mo, with coupon, because insurance says no.
- notatoad 3y agothere's plenty of people who buy groceries at wal-mart not by choice, but because wal-mart is the only grocery store in their suburb.
- homero 3y agoIt's covered for actual diabetics
- prepend 3y agoIt’s also covered for actual obese as well.
- homero 3y agoThat's new under Wegovy
- prepend 3y agoWe govt and ozempic are the same drug, semaglutide, made by the same manufacturer, Novo Nordisk. Wegovy is not new, it was approved by the FDA for weight loss in 2021. And Ozempic was used off label for weight loss for many years before then. So Ozempic is approved for use by the obese for weight loss.
