Until today, Ozempic® has not been available to eligible self-paying patients at this price
GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading platform for medication savings in the U.S., today announced that via a collaboration with Novo Nordisk, all strengths of Ozempic® (semaglutide) and Wegovy® (semaglutide) pens are available to eligible self-paying patients for $499-per-month through GoodRx, effective today.

“Demand for GLP-1 medications is at an all-time high, but too many Americans still face barriers accessing them,” said Wendy Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer of GoodRx. “By partnering with Novo Nordisk, we’re taking a significant step forward in making these innovative brand-name treatments more accessible for millions of people who need them. It’s a powerful example of how the GoodRx platform can deliver savings at scale—bridging gaps in coverage and ensuring more people can get the care they deserve.”
In the last year, almost 17 million people came to GoodRx looking for savings and information on GLP-1 medications, a 22% increase from the previous year. Now, GoodRx is poised to more effectively meet this growing demand by leveraging the extensive reach and scale of its trusted platform to deliver savings directly to patients who need them. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in improving access and affordability of these important, authentic, FDA-approved medications.
“Improving access to effective FDA-approved treatment is central to our mission, and our collaboration with GoodRx allows us to reach those who seek savings and support from their trusted and established platform,” said Dave Moore, Executive Vice President, US Operations of Novo Nordisk Inc. “This initiative enables us to meet GoodRx patients where they are with our authentic GLP-1 medicines in addition to supporting the launch of the new Ozempic® self-pay offer for type 2 diabetes patients at an unprecedented price.”
Healthcare professionals are increasingly prescribing these groundbreaking medications to support patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or obesity—yet insurance coverage remains a challenge for many seeking treatment, especially those seeking obesity medications. For example, GoodRx research shows 19 million people lack coverage for any GLP-1s prescribed for weight loss. By filling the gaps in insurance coverage, GoodRx is playing a critical role in reducing friction in the system and helping accelerate speed to therapy so consumers can benefit from these critical treatments.
Starting today, eligible patients can use GoodRx to self-pay for Ozempic® and Wegovy® pens for $499-per-month at over 70,000 retail pharmacies nationwide.
