It's for my Mom. She went to a Dr and they gave her Victoza (liraglutide) but she had to drive like 3 hours for the visit. Apparently it's in a trial at that clinic and you can get it for $10 a month. Was wondering if she could just get a Dr in her town to prescribe Wegovy and use a co pay.

"Novo Nordisk is pleased to report that all dose strengths of Wegovy are now available to retail pharmacies nationwide. However, pharmacies may experience normal delays given the time required to order the product from their local distribution center, and geographical variabilities.

Wegovy is strictly for weight loss. So will depend on her insurance. If her insurance doesn’t cover weight loss meds the one pen costs like $1600 a month

Insurance companies are also cracking down on ozempic. I’ve been on it for months and now and was able to get it covered due to a slightly elevated A1C and PCOS insulin resistance. No more. Starting Jan 1 you have to strictly have a type 2 diabetes diagnosis to get it covered by most insurance companies now. Without insurance it’s like $800-900 a month
