(KVOA) – Popular weight loss medications are now available on store shelves at retailers Costco and Sam’s Club.<\/p>\n
Ozempic and Wegovy\u00a0are known for their appetite-suppressing qualities, helping people to eat less and, in most cases, lose weight.<\/p>\n
Costco is offering the drugs at a price of $499 for four injectable pens, a month’s supply, which is about half the price when paying out-of-pocket. Customers with a Costco Executive Membership or Chase Citibank credit card will get an additional cash back reward through those programs.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Sam’s Club shoppers can get a month’s supply of Ozempic or Wegovy for $499 through the use of Novo Nordisk co-pay cards, the chain announced this week. Additionally, members can get same-day delivery of the medications for $12. Same-day delivery is free for Sam’s Club Plus Members when ordered by 2 p.m.<\/p>\n
You do still need a prescription from your doctor to purchase the medications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(KVOA) – Popular weight loss medications are now available on store shelves at retailers Costco and Sam’s Club.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[163,85,46,482,853,43,38],"class_list":{"0":"post-62057","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-medication","8":"tag-health","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-medication","12":"tag-national","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-top-stories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
