We believe that if even a single patient feels the need to turn to potentially unsafe and unapproved knockoff alternatives, that\u2019s one too many.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/news-articles\/markets\/equity\/novo-nordisk-cuts-ozempic-cost-to-499-dollars-per-month-for-self-paying-patients\/chsOfKDRdXE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/news-articles\/markets\/equity\/novo-nordisk-cuts-ozempic-cost-to-499-dollars-per-month-for-self-paying-patients\/chsOfKDRdXE\" class=\"sc-19cc8fd2-0 iHosVH\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Following the announcement, shares of Novo Nordisk jumped nearly 5% while GoodRx surged close to 40%. Analysts see the price cut as a proactive response to rival drug launches and ongoing political scrutiny over high U.S. drug prices.<a href=\"https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/news-articles\/markets\/equity\/novo-nordisk-cuts-ozempic-cost-to-499-dollars-per-month-for-self-paying-patients\/chsOfKDRdXE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/stocktwits.com\/news-articles\/markets\/equity\/novo-nordisk-cuts-ozempic-cost-to-499-dollars-per-month-for-self-paying-patients\/chsOfKDRdXE\" class=\"sc-19cc8fd2-0 iHosVH\"\/><\/p>\n<p>To be clear, most insured diabetes patients in the U.S. already pay far less than the full list price for Ozempic\u2014usually, it comes out to be just under $25 per month. However, the new program is targeted specifically at uninsured or underinsured people who faced the steepest out-of-pocket costs. The price reduction also comes shortly after Wegovy received FDA approval for a new liver-disease treatment, broadening its indications and market reach.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biospace.com\/business\/novo-teams-up-with-goodrx-for-lower-price-glp-1s-giving-dtc-another-shot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.biospace.com\/business\/novo-teams-up-with-goodrx-for-lower-price-glp-1s-giving-dtc-another-shot\" class=\"sc-19cc8fd2-0 iHosVH\"\/><\/p>\n<p><em>For this story,\u00a0<\/em>Fortune<em>\u00a0used generative AI to help with an initial draft.
