People who are prescribed Ozempic to treat type 2 diabetes, but whose insurance does not cover it, or who don’t have insurance, will be able to buy the medication at a lower cost.

Novo Nordisk announced on Monday that it will offer Ozempic for $499 a month through the GoodRx platform.

That will also be the price for the medication under the brand name Wegovy, which is used for adults with obesity, the company said in a news release.

GoodRX said in April that Ozempic is between $1,000 and $1,200 a month.

The price cut can be found through several platforms, Novo Nordisk said and at more than 70,000 pharmacies across the country.
