Amazon Pharmacy Adds FDA-Approved Wegovy Pill With $25 Copays and Nationwide Delivery

Overview

• Amazon is offering Novo Nordisk’s oral Wegovy with a cash-pay price starting at $149 per month and copays as low as $25 for eligible insured customers.
• Home delivery is available in all 50 states, with same-day service reaching nearly half of U.S. consumers, and Amazon plans to stock the pill in prescription kiosks within weeks.
• The once-daily pill is also available through more than 70,000 pharmacies and select telehealth providers including Ro, LifeMD, WeightWatchers, GoodRx and NovoCare Pharmacy.
• The FDA approved the oral semaglutide in December as the first oral GLP-1 for chronic weight management, and Novo Nordisk says trials show weight loss comparable to injectable formulations.
• Australia’s health minister has begun price talks to list Wegovy on the PBS for people with established cardiovascular disease and high BMI, noting the subsidy could carry a substantial cost to taxpayers.
