"Costco Now Provides Ozempic Prescriptions to Eligible Members"

Costco is now offering its US members access to prescriptions for GLP-1 weight loss drugs through its healthcare partner Sesame, which includes a renewable three-month program with video consultations, prescriptions, and ongoing support. The cost of medication is not included in the $179 three-month plan, and without insurance, GLP-1s can cost between $950 and $1,600 per month. This move aims to address the growing interest in weight loss medications among various demographics, with other companies like WeightWatchers and luxury gyms also entering the space.
