(DCNF)—President Donald Trump announced Thursday that the price of Ozempic will fall from more than $1,000 to $199, a dramatic reduction for one of the most expensive and widely used prescription drugs in the country.
Pharmacy “cash price” for a single Ozempic pen can exceed $1,300 at some U.S. outlets, according to pricing data. During the launch of Trump RX, Trump said manufacturers agreed to slash prices for popular GLP-1 weight-loss medications, insulin, asthma inhalers, and fertility drugs after sustained pressure from his administration.

He did. $25
Now do Anoro-Ellipta, $700/month.
Really?
I was unaware...
Now do epinephrine!
Trump priced Ozempic will kill the fast food industry more than it already is
Its for all drugs - you get the lowest price anywhere in the world and pay the manufacture that price in cash - up to 89% off.
This service is open to everyone even to people with extreme TDS, one example is a woman having to buy very expensive heart medications for her husband, complains about high prices, but refused to even look at TrumpRX because she “does not want to put money in Trump’s pocket”.
Site says they are adding new drugs all the time.
“Trump priced Ozempic will kill the fast food industry more than it already is”
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Lowering the price of GLP-1 products that are being used by the consumers for weight loss is going to increase the market need and worsen the availability of the drugs so insulin dependent diabetics will have an even lesser chance of getting it at the amounts they need. There is already shortage of these drugs at particular sizes and diabetics are being forced to change from Ozempic to more powerful drugs like Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Saxenda which are approved and used for weight loss. Ozempic isn’t approved for weight loss.
But you may notice weight loss while using it, which may help you meet your treatment goals. And if kept at lower levels, it is not as dangerous to use as other weight loss products like the more powerful other injection products. There is a danger to their use if not careful.

Gonna bet the ozempic demographic are never-Trumpers
Let us hope that these drugs don’t have catastrophic long-term effects. Because we still don’t know. For the vast majority of people, diet and exercise will accomplish the same thing. And the second you go off it, your weight balloons again.
Xarelto is not yet on the list. I get the generic version from a Canadian pharmacy for about $1.30 a dose. They need about 3 weeks lead time, but they seem pretty reliable.
There is danger in being overweight. I get a kick out of the GLP1 shaming trend, where various talking heads argue that you are somehow morally deficient for using a drug like this. The most hilarious was Paul Joseph Watson, who interrupted his diatribe with a commercial for a wooden tube thing you are supposed to suck on instead of smoking. I guess he just can’t be a man and quit cold turkey.
Let’s say that someone DID become morbidly obese at the age of 30, even stipulate that it was because of laziness and self-indulgence.
The fact remains that a regular amount of wisdom and careful dieting and proper exercise is MUCH harder to do when you are that heavy.
My sister tried everything to quit smoking until she hit 30, and went on the patch. That one worked. It was the crutch she needed, and is now smoke-free for 30+ years, and married a good man who would not have married a smoker.
I am still skeptical of side-effects, and Ozempic should not be used by Size 4 models trying to get to a size 2. But if someone is scooter fact, the side-effects are likely less of a deal than the morbid obesity.
I just sent an email to our very liberal city council with a screen shot of the top of the article and this message.
I was able to watch your recent goal setting meeting regarding the budget. It was noted that the cost of GPL-1 drugs are a major drag on the benefits budget. You will need to acknowledge and thank our president to recognize the same and take steps to bring down the cost of Ozempic.

I am sure there will be crickets.
“...why are the so many ads on TV for Ozempic if they cannot make enough?”
I guess I didn’t get the problem explained properly. I said in certain sizes. They are making the lower dose sizes, the ones the weight loss people are using, but not the higher dose containers that many of the diabetics are. This way they can make more money by forcing the higher dose users, the diabetics, to buy multiple containers at a higher price. The weight loss people don’t use the bigger containers. So to utilize the amount they can make, they put them in more servings to handle the new market of dieters by making more of the lower size pens. And the diabetics can’t get the bigger sizes or many times not afford buying multiple amounts.

Instead of an expensive weekly injections, and its liability issues, the emphasis should be on a daily pill form. In the case of Ozempic, it is Rybelsus, but the other drug manufacturers are working on their own. Some of these will likely be better than the shot, with just Semaglutide, in that they will add other anti-diabetic and weight loss drugs.
