Wegovy HD Rollout: Novo Nordisk Introduces 7.2 mg Dose in US Market

Bengaluru: Novo Nordisk said on Tuesday that it has made a higher-dose version of its blockbuster weight-loss drug Wegovy available across the United States.

The 7.2-milligram dose, ‌branded ⁠as Wegovy ⁠HD, gained approval under the FDA ​Commissioner's National Priority Review Voucher program last month.

Before ​the approval, the highest authorized dose of the injectable Wegovy for ​weight loss was ⁠2.4 mg.

The ‌company said the higher-dose Wegovy will be available through ⁠U.S. pharmacies, NovoCare Pharmacy and select telehealth providers.

Cash-paying adults prescribed Wegovy HD can expect to pay $399 per month, while commercially insured patients may pay as little as $25 per month using ‌the Wegovy savings offer, Novo said. Last month, Novo said it plans to launch ⁠a discounted subscription plan for U.S. Wegovy patients paying for the drug themselves, offering steep discounts to regain ground ceded to Eli Lilly in the obesity-drug market.
