President Trump announced Thursday that what he’s called the “fat shot drug,” GLP-1 injections like Ozempik, will be offered at a discount on the “TrumpRx” website, thanks to a deal with Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to sell drugs to Medicare under the terms of “most favored nation.” The cost will be one-eighth what it is today, down to around $ 150 per month, the administration says. ” A friend of mine, a businessman, very, very top guy-most of you would have heard of him-highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight. He takes the fat shot drug,” Trump said in May. ” He said, ‘I just paid $ 88, and in New York, I pay $ 1,300. What the hell is going on?’ He said, ‘It’s the same box, made in the same plant by the same company. It’s the identical pill that I buy in New York, and here I’m paying $ 88 in London, and in New York, I’m paying $ 1,300.'”
