    If they don’t want to be accused of ripping off US consumers, maybe they shouldn’t be ripping off US consumers.

    According to the report, the United States had the highest prices for all four drugs, with costs ranging from $936 (Ozempic/Rybelsus) to $1,349 (Wegovy) for a one-month supply.

    For Ozempic, a one-month supply in the United States ($936) is over five times higher than the cost in Japan ($169), the second highest price point for the drug. The lowest price point for Ozempic is $83 in France.

    Rybelsus has the same price point as Ozempic ($936) in the United States, which is over four times greater than the second highest price point of $203 in the Netherlands. Wegovy and Mounjaro are also priced between two and three times higher in the United States than in other countries that offer the drug.

    GODDAMN LIARS

    Ozempic’s maker is just trying to protect Americans from the harmful side effects with the unconscionably high price.

    I sell these types of products all day, and how some of them are 0 copay and some are 500 is fucking dumb. Something’s got to give, is it the manufacturer, the pbms, the insurance companies?

    It’s the same for a lot of other meds too, but the injections are way inflated. Someone’s making to much money 🤑
