Costco to sell weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy at half-price

The move comes as GLP-1 drug prices have soared as supply continues to be increasingly limited

Costco has struck an agreement with drugmaker Novo Nordisk to make anti-obesity GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy available to its members at roughly half the usual cost.

Through the store's prescription program, members with a valid prescription can buy a four-week supply of the injectables for $499. The offer is available only to those paying out of pocket, since many insurers still do not cover these medications.
