Novo Nordisk announces agreement with the U.S. Administration to bring GLP-1s to more Americans at a lower cost
On Nov. 6, 2025, Novo Nordisk announced it has agreed with the U.S. Administration to lower drug prices beginning in 2026 and expand patient access and affordability for semaglutide medicines, including Wegovy® and Ozempic®, in U.S. Medicare Part D and Medicaid and in direct-to-patient cash channel.
Medicare Part D coverage for anti-obesity medicines will be enabled through a pilot program designed to cover a majority of Part D beneficiaries. In addition, Novo Nordisk is expected to receive a three-year tariff exemption.
Novo Nordisk currently expects an estimated direct, negative low single-digit impact on global sales growth in 2026. Implementation is expected to begin in 2026.
The forward-looking statements section on page 28 in the financial report for the first nine months of 2025 (Company Announcement No 31/2025) also apply to this company announcement. Novo Nordisk is expected to provide the financial outlook for 2026 in connection with the announcement of the full-year 2025 results on 4 February 2026.
