How Long is the Wegovy Coupon Good For?
The current savings coupon for Wegovy, as provided by the manufacturer and described above, is good up to and including 12/31/23.
How Much Does Wegovy Cost Without a Coupon?
Wegovy can be expensive if you do not have insurance. Without any insurance or the Wegovy coupon, the monthly cost is about $1600 for a monthly supply (1 box) of Wegovy. Patients without insurance who do not qualify for the copay coupon can reduce the full retail cost by $500 with the Wegovy coupon offer.
Novo Nordisk does provide a “free sample portal” where doctors and other healthcare providers who are licensed to issue legitimate prescriptions may order free samples of any of the drugmaker’s medications, including Wegovy, and your doctor may be willing to pass such samples along to you. However, due to high demand, the availability of these samples is quite limited.
Is There a Cheaper Alternative to Wegovy?
There are several “medical weight loss clinics” that claim to be offering a “generic version” of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy. There is currently no FDA-approved “generic” version of semaglutide. Wegovy for weight loss was only recently approved and will be patented for many years before an approved generic is available.
The semaglutide advertised by these clinics is NOT approved by the FDA, is not regulated, and is made by compounding pharmacies. It is not recommended that you use this to save money as you could be taking a health risk, and the FDA is currently in the process of cracking down on the sale of such versions of “generic semaglutide.”
Semaglutide is available in other FDA-approved medications, such as Ozempic, which are less expensive per month than Wegovy. However, Ozempic is NOT approved for weight loss, and prescribing it as such is considered “off-label” use. The amount of semaglutide in Ozempic is lower than in Wegovy, and that is why it is prescribed for diabetes management and not weight loss.
There are some other weight loss drugs whose monthly costs are less than Wegovy, such as Contrave, Xenical, or Qsymia, but these are not semaglutide and are, in fact, entirely different drugs with different mechanisms of action. If your doctor has recommended Wegovy, these others may not be right for your situation.
If you have been prescribed Wegovy and the cost is an issue, rather than seeking a less expensive alternative, the best thing you can do is try to lower the cost of your prescription through the patient assistance program.
Some pharmacies might also offer their own discount programs or coupons for specific medications. It’s worth checking with your local pharmacies to see if they have any deals or discounts available for Wegovy.
