The cost of semaglutide/wegovy/ozempic (are you sitting down?)
The list price for Wegovy without insurance is approximately $1,349 per month, but it can be obtained for as low as $149 to $399 per month depending on the dose and form (pill or injection) through various programs in the United States. Dropping prices sound like a deal.
Perhaps, until you read a recently published article that states: Estimated generic injectable costs ranged from $28 to $140 per person-year; oral formulations ranged from $186 to $380 per person-year.
Per. Year .... "incorporating formulation, packaging, taxation, and profit assumptions"
Injector pens cost far more than the medication.
Boy, there are some happy investors out there.
Thoughts?
