Costco Pharmacy Review
Costco Pharmacy is a national membership-warehouse retail pharmacy that dispenses FDA-approved branded GLP-1 medications (not compounded). Through a direct deal with Novo Nordisk, self-pay members with a valid prescription can fill injectable Ozempic or Wegovy for roughly $349 per month, and the oral Wegovy pill for as little as $149 per month; new patients can access the lowest two doses for about $199 per month for the first two months. Costco also offers discounted access to Ozempic and Wegovy through a partnership with Sesame.
