Publix Pharmacy has launched a new discount card program that offers savings on select weight loss medications, including Wegovy and Ozempic. The program is available to eligible Publix Pharmacy customers and can lower out-of-pocket costs on these GLP-1 therapies, which are used to manage blood sugar levels for those with Type 2 diabetes and also treat obesity.
Why it matters
This program provides more affordable access to prescription weight loss drugs, which can be an important tool for those struggling with obesity. However, some critics argue that over-reliance on medication alone does not address the root causes of weight gain and that a more holistic approach to health and wellness is needed.
The details
The Publix discount card program covers select GLP-1 therapies, including Wegovy (semaglutide) 1.5 mg or 4 mg tablets starting as low as $149 per month, and Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide) 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg injectables starting as low as $199 per month. Publix pharmacy customers can speak with their pharmacist to learn more about current pricing and ways to lower their out-of-pocket costs for these and other prescription medications.
