Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ozempic, Novo’s $1,000 Diabetes Drug, Can Be Made for Less Than $5 a Month, Study Says Bloomberg) -- Ozempic could be profitably produced for less than $5 a month even as maker Novo Nordisk A/S charges almost $1,000 in the US, according to a study that revives questions about prices for top-selling treatments for diabetes and obesity. The blockbuster drug could be manufactured for 89 cents to $4.73 for a month’s supply, figures that include a profit margin, researchers at Yale University, King’s College Hospital in London and the nonprofit Doctors Without Borders reported in the journal JAMA Network Open. That compares to the monthly US list price of $968.52 for Ozempic, a weekly injection. Novo declined to provide production costs for Ozempic and Wegovy, its related drug for obesity. The company said it’s making significant investments to ensure that the public has access to its widely popular drugs. It’s making about $6 billion in capital expenditures and spending $11 billion to acquire production facilities from Catalent Inc. as part of those efforts, according to an emailed response to questions.

While the easy weight loss would be nice for alot of people, there are too many side-effects, and we still dont have long term data. Bottom Line: Count Calories and Exercise to lose weight. Stop eating sugar/carb foods if your diabetic. There are natural cures for everything, research (because they want to make money selling you expensive drugs), and you can profit physically. I tapped out and stopped all my BP meds, statins, etc during Covid, started eating right, exercising... Im in the best shape of my life, at ideal BMI, and you can still indulge, and enjoy food, alcohol, etc in moderation... I honestly just thought back to what my parents ate/drank/did, and it makes perfect sense... They've just fed people lies too long about dietary /nutritional /healthy ways, so nobody knows them anymore. Always remember these words: Work hard, study well, and eat and sleep plenty! That is the Turtle Hermit way! We must master the art of peace in addition to the art of war! |
