GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading prescription savings platform in the U.S., today released a new Weight Loss Medications Tracker that provides an inside look at fill trends and spending patterns for weight loss medications across the U.S. The company found that limited insurance coverage and high out-of-pocket costs aren’t slowing down interest in popular drugs used for weight loss such as Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound. In fact, some of these popular drugs have seen fills more than double in just the past year. What’s more, GoodRx’s research shows that Americans overspent by at least $200 million in 2024 by paying the full retail price for their weight loss medications and not leveraging savings available on GoodRx, showcasing an astounding willingness to access these medications at any cost.
