$

0

Reducing the cost of insulin in the US was a great achievement, but we have to, in Bidenspeak, “Finish the job.” Ozempic and other brands of semaglutide cost five times as much in the US as in other countries, or more. Novo Nordisk researchers are serious about finding ways to help diabetics, but their sales department is as greedy as the rest of Big Pharma. The other makers of semaglutide products are equally greedy, but less effective in selling around the world.

How do prices of drugs for weight loss in the U.S. compare to peer nations’ prices?
