Costco offers discounted weight loss drugs, but doctors highlight potential risks

abc15.com

Costco now offers GLP-1 weight loss drugs at a reduced price, but doctors caution about potential risks associated with these medications. The discounted price is $499 per month, significantly lower than the typical $1,200 to $1,400, but still unaffordable for many. Doctors warn against unregulated online alternatives, which may not be FDA approved. Increased competition is expected to further lower prices in the coming years. Patients are advised to consult their doctor and compare prices through services like GoodRx.
