Oct. 3, 2025, 1:42 PM EDTBy Kaan OzcanOzempic and Wegovy are coming to a Costco near you.Novo Nordisk, the company that makes Ozempic and Wegovy, announced Friday it will be selling the prescription injectable pens at the warehouse chain’s pharmacies. A four-week supply of the weight loss drug will cost $499 out of pocket. Novo Nordisk already sells the monthly supply for $499 at its direct-to-consumer website, and it offers the same discount through CVS and Walmart.Novo Nordisk and other manufacturers of the hugely popular weight loss drugs have been competing against compounding pharmacies, some clinics and medical spas who sell cheaper versions of the branded medications.“We want to make sure we offer the real, authentic Wegovy and Ozempic where patients seek care,” David Moore, president of Novo Nordisk U.S., told NBC News. “We know that Costco is a trusted brand.” Costco members with a prescription will pay $499 for a one-month supply. Executive members and those with Costco Citibank credit cards will receive an additional 2% discount. For members who have insurance, the price will depend on their plan.The discounted prescriptions will be available at over 600 Costco pharmacies nationwide starting Friday. Recent research on the drugs has shown their potential to reduce stroke risk, treat liver disease and protect heart health. Dr. Rekha Kumar, an endocrinologist at Weill Cornell Medicine and senior medical adviser at Found Health, said the drugs have been a big breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes, but they’re still out of reach for many people who are uninsured, or whose insurance won’t cover the prescriptions. “This will definitely improve one of the issues with access, meaning that there is another place that people can get the medicine that you know isn’t their retail pharmacy, isn’t an online telehealth pharmacy, but a large store that many people in the United States go to,” she said, even if it will not “solve the issues of insurance coverage and cost.”In 2024, 13 states cover GLP-1 drugs for obesity treatment, according to KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group. Around 1 in 8 adults say they have used a GLP-1 agonist.“Those patients that have coverage will receive the medicine on average for $25 a month,” Novo Nordisk’s Moore said. “But that doesn’t cover everyone, so we wanted to make sure there’s a self-pay option available as well.”Around 1 in 5 people with private insurance don’t have coverage for at least one brand-name GLP-1 medication prescribed for weight loss, according to GoodRX.Dr. Harlan Krumholz, cardiologist and professor of medicine at Yale School of Medicine said that he’s happy to see greater accessibility for the medications, but they won’t reach the people that need them the most if they can’t pay $499 a month.“The people who have the greatest need for these medications are precisely the people who are in lower socioeconomic strata who have either poor insurance or no insurance, and don’t have the discretionary funds to be spending on medications,” he said.“If we really want to make the biggest difference on the health of the nation, we have to make sure that the people who would benefit the most have access to medications that are being shown to be beneficial.” Kaan OzcanKaan Ozcan is an intern with NBC News’ Health and Medical Unit.

Nov. 30, 2025, 8:17 AM ESTBy Freddie ClaytonIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has submitted a request for a formal pardon amid a yearslong corruption trial, just weeks after President Donald Trump said he should be pardoned.“Today my lawyers submitted a request for clemency to the President of the State,” Netanyahu said in a video address posted on X Sunday. “The continuation of the trial is tearing us apart from within, provoking fierce divisions, intensifying divisions,” he said. “My personal interest was and remains to continue the process until the end, until I am fully acquitted of all charges, but the security and political realities, the national interest, require otherwise.”Netanyahu is facing charges of fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in three separate cases. Prosecutors have alleged that he exchanged regulatory favors with media owners in Israel seeking positive press coverage.He has also been accused of accepting gifts — including cigars and champagne — in exchange for advancing the personal interests of Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer. Prosecutors say these were worth hundreds of thousands of shekels.Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister and the first sitting Israeli leader to have taken the stand as a criminal defendant, has consistently denied the allegations, branding them a “witch hunt.” A verdict in the ongoing five-year trial isn’t expected until 2026 at the earliest, while Netanyahu will also have the option to appeal to the Supreme Court.An Israeli anti-government protester dressed up as US President Donald Trump holds a doll depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a demonstration in Tel Aviv on Nov. 15Jack Guez / AFP – Getty ImagesUnder Israel’s Basic Law, the country’s president has the power to pardon criminals or reduce their sentence.A spokesperson for Israeli President Isaac Herzog said Netanyahu’s request for a pardon was “extraordinary,” carrying with it “significant implications.”In accordance with “guidelines and procedures,” Netanyahu’s request is “currently being transferred to the Pardons Department in the Ministry of Justice which will gather the opinions of all the relevant authorities,” read the statement, without indicating when a decision might be reached.In his video message, Netanyahu also cited Trump’s recent appeal for the trial to be cancelled, saying it would allow the two leaders to “promote more vigorously the vital interests shared by Israel and the United States in a window of time that is unlikely to return.”Trump penned a letter to Herzog two weeks ago asking the president to grant Netanyahu a full pardon.At the time, Herzog’s office had said that “anyone seeking a pardon must submit a request in accordance with the established procedures.”Defense Minister Israel Katz and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir both immediately backed the proposed pardon, with Katz citing the “complex security reality” in Israel.Netanyahu has previously cited the war in Gaza and security concerns while seeking delays in the court proceedings.Benny Gantz, a political rival of Netanyahu, said that the pardon request was “fake” and urged him: “Instead of fanning the flames, extinguish the fire you created within Israeli society.”The International Criminal Court last year issued a separate warrant for Netanyahu’s arrest over alleged war crimes committed in Gaza.Both Israel and the U.S. do not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC. The warrant theoretically puts Netanyahu at risk of arrest if he steps foot in an ICC member country, though the body has no police force and is reliant on international cooperation.Israel responded furiously to the warrants, with Netanyahu’s office branding the decision “antisemitic,” rejecting the charges as “absurd and false.”Freddie ClaytonFreddie Clayton is a freelance journalist based in London. Yarden Segev contributed.
