Costco to Sell Ozempic and Wegovy, Weight-Loss Wonder Drugs

Costco, the popular membership-based retailer, has announced that it will begin selling Ozempic and Wegovy, two highly sought-after weight-loss medications. These drugs, known as "wonder drugs" for their effectiveness in reducing weight, will be available to Costco members at a monthly out-of-pocket cost of $499, which is the same price offered at other major retailers such as CVS and Walmart, as well as on the manufacturer's direct-to-consumer website. The decision by Costco to offer these weight-loss medications is seen as a significant move, as it provides greater accessibility and affordability for individuals seeking these treatments. The high demand for Ozempic and Wegovy has led to shortages and long waiting lists at various healthcare providers, making Costco's move a potential game-changer in the weight-loss medication market.
