Cheap Ozempic, Wegovy Alternatives Exist But Have Side Effects

This is Nacha in New York. The world is eagerly awaiting affordable Ozempic, but cheaper oral options already exist. Before we get to that…

Weight-loss pills are all the rage, with stars including Oprah and Amy Schumer having spoken up about all the pounds they’ve shed on GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic. Without widespread insurance coverage, many patients have struggled to get affordable GLP-1 prescriptions. But there are other, older weight-loss pills already on the market that are both effective and far less expensive.

One of the most effective of those drugs is a once-daily tablet called Qsymia. People lose around 11% of their body weight on average after a year on the drug. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are seeing around 15% reductions from the weight loss pills that they’re currently developing.
