Senator Berne Sanders is launching an investigation into the 'outrageously high prices' Novo Nordisk charges for the drugs.
Tami Luhby and Katherine DillingerAction News, AccuWeather and EntertainmentThe Vermont senator, an independent who has long called out drug manufacturers for their costly products, is launching an investigation into the "outrageously high prices" Novo Nordisk charges for the drugs.
Novo Nordisk increased the list price for Ozempic by 3.5% this year to $969 for a four-week supply but kept the price of Wegovy unchanged at $1,349. The drugmaker told CNN in February that it increases the list prices of some medications each year based on changes in the health care system, inflation and market conditions.
"It's easy to oversimplify the science that goes into understanding disease and developing and producing new treatments, as well as the intricacies of U.S. and global healthcare systems," Novo Nordisk said. "However, the public debate doesn't always take into account this extremely complex reality."
