Ohh, yeah. I've heard about that.
The med costs for diabetics need to come down in this nation, for one thing. It's disgusting what insulin costs.
Is Ozempic injection only? The reason I'm asking is because when Sidney (my cat) was diagnosed with diabetes the first time I bought her insulin it was $350 (of course, no insurance covers cat insulin). I was frantic over the cost. Then I learned from a feline diabetes group about an AMAZING place called Mark's Marine Pharmacy in Vancouver, Canada. It's a legit brick&mortar pharmacy, but they ship meds to the U.S. The staff is incredibly helpful.
So I ordered Sid's insulin from them at a cost of $126 (6 months worth). Md, they packed that insulin so carefully, temperature gauge, everything, and it took only 2 days to ship.
In Canada they sell insulin otc, same brand, same quality we have, but the cost is less than half of what it is here, and that's true of so many medications. The U.S.'s dirty little secret.
