The Big News: No More Needles for GLP-1
For years, Wegovy has been famous for two things: its impressive results and its once-a-week injection. For many, that weekly "pen" was a dealbreaker.
The new daily oral tablet (oral semaglutide) offers the same active ingredient but in a simple pill you take every morning. Clinical trials (the OASIS 4 study) showed that patients lost an average of 14% to 17% of their body weight—comparable to the results seen with the injectable version.
The Price Breakdown: Is it actually affordable?
One of the most surprising parts of the Good Morning America report was the price drop. Novo Nordisk is launching this with "self-pay" patients in mind.
Starting Dose (1.5 mg): $149/month.
Maintenance Doses (4 mg): $149/month (until April 15, 2026, then $199).
Higher Doses (9 mg & 25 mg): $299/month.
With Insurance: Many patients with commercial coverage can pay as little as $25/month.
How AllyHealth Fits In: Your "Secret Weapon"
Getting a prescription for a high-demand medication can be frustrating. This is where AllyHealth comes in. It’s not just a telehealth app; it’s a full-service healthcare navigation system.
1. 24/7 Access to Doctors
You don’t have to wait weeks for an appointment with a primary care physician. Through AllyHealth, you can consult with a licensed doctor via phone or video anytime to see if the Wegovy pill is right for you. If it is, they can send the prescription directly to your local pharmacy.
2. The "AllyHealth Advocacy" Advantage

Navigate insurance denials.
Find the best local price using their Drug Price Transparency Tool.
Locate pharmacies that actually have the pill in stock.
3. Significant Prescription Savings
Beyond Wegovy, the AllyHealth savings tool can save you up to 85% on other medications. Sometimes, their discounted "cash price" is even lower than a standard insurance copay.
