GoodRx Announces Collaboration with Novo Nordisk to Expand Access to Ozempic® and Wegovy® for $499-Per-Month
Until today, Ozempic® has not been available to eligible self-paying patients at this price SANTA MONICA, Calif., August 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), the leading platform for medication savings in the U.S., today announced that via a collaboration with Novo Nordisk, all strengths of Ozempic® (semaglutide) and Wegovy® (semaglutide) pens are available to eligible self-paying patients for $499-per-month through GoodRx, effective today. This collaboration significantly lowers the price available on GoodRx for two of the most in-demand GLP-1 medications nationwide, expanding access for those who lack adequate insurance coverage. Today also marks the first time Ozempic® has been made available to patients at this self-pay price. "Demand for GLP-1 medications is at an all-time high, but too many Americans still face barriers accessing them," said Wendy Barnes, President and Chief Executive Officer of GoodRx. "By partnering with Novo Nordisk, we're taking a significant step forward in making these innovative brand-name treatments more accessible for millions of people who need them. It's a powerful example of how the GoodRx platform can deliver savings at scale—bridging gaps in coverage and ensuring more people can get the care they deserve." In the last year, almost 17 million people came to GoodRx looking for savings and information on GLP-1 medications, a 22% increase from the previous year. Now, GoodRx is poised to more effectively meet this growing demand by leveraging the extensive reach and scale of its trusted platform to deliver savings directly to patients who need them. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in improving access and affordability of these important, authentic, FDA-approved medications. "Improving access to effective FDA-approved treatment is central to our mission, and our collaboration with GoodRx allows us to reach those who seek savings and support from their trusted and established platform," said Dave Moore, Executive Vice President, US Operations of Novo Nordisk Inc. "This initiative enables us to meet GoodRx patients where they are with our authentic GLP-1 medicines in addition to supporting the launch of the new Ozempic® self-pay offer for type 2 diabetes patients at an unprecedented price." Healthcare professionals are increasingly prescribing these groundbreaking medications to support patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or obesity—yet insurance coverage remains a challenge for many seeking treatment, especially those seeking obesity medications. For example, GoodRx research shows 19 million people lack coverage for any GLP-1s prescribed for weight loss. By filling the gaps in insurance coverage, GoodRx is playing a critical role in reducing friction in the system and helping accelerate speed to therapy so consumers can benefit from these critical treatments. Starting today, eligible patients can use GoodRx to self-pay for Ozempic® and Wegovy® pens for $499-per-month at over 70,000 retail pharmacies nationwide.

National Hurricane Center tracking Hurricane Erin, tropical wave that could become next storm
The National Hurricane Center is tracking two systems in the Atlantic basin, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Erin is a huge Category 4 storm and is expected to both grow larger and stronger today as it moves toward the north. The center of the storm is expected to remain offshore as it moves between the U.S. and Bermuda. ➤ Track all active storms ➤ Weather alerts via text: Sign up to get updates about current storms and weather events by location However, dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents are forecast from Florida to Canada over most of the week. Dare County in North Carolina has declared a state of emergency and issued a mandatory evacuation for Hatteras Island. The National Weather Service warned waves of 15 to 20 feet are expected in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and issued a beach hazards statement and high surf advisory for much of the week. Residents along the North Carolina coast were warned there is a risk of strong winds associated with the outer rainbands of Erin around the middle of the week, as well as a threat for significant coastal flooding and beach erosion, according to the National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center. Elsewhere in the Atlantic, a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic could develop into a tropical depression later this week. The next named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season will be Fernand. Here's the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center as of 8 a.m., Aug. 18: Where is Hurricane Erin going? Special note on the NHC cone: The forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. NOAA hurricane tracker: See spaghetti models for Hurricane Erin Special note about spaghetti models: Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest performing models to help make its forecasts. ➤ Track Hurricane Erin What tropical waves, disturbances are in Atlantic basin now? Tropical wave: A tropical wave located over the eastern tropical Atlantic is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form during the latter part of the week. This system should move westward to west-northwestward at about 20 mph across the central tropical Atlantic and approach the vicinity of the Leeward Islands toward the end of the week. Formation chance through 48 hours: medium, near 0 percent. Formation chance through 7 days: medium, 50 percent. What do the colored, hatched areas on the NOAA map mean? The hatched areas on the National Hurricane Center's tropical outlook map indicate "areas where a tropical cyclone — which could be a tropical depression, tropical storm or hurricane — could develop," said National Hurricane Center Deputy Director Jamie Rhome. The colors make it visibly clear how likely a system could develop, with yellow being low, orange medium, and red high. The National Hurricane Center generally doesn't issue tropical advisories until there is a named storm, but there is an exception. "If a system is near land and there is potential for development, the National Hurricane Center won't wait before it issues advisories, even if the system hasn't become an actual storm. This gives residents time to prepare," Rhome said. Is Hurricane Erin coming to Florida, what is its path? No. Erin is expected to remain east of Florida and move north between the U.S. east coast and Bermuda. Dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents are forecast to affect the entire coast from Florida to Canada this week. ➤ Excessive rainfall forecast Remember, forecasts can change so it's always best to be prepared. Florida weather radar for Aug. 18, 2025 Weather watches and warnings issued in Florida When is the Atlantic hurricane season? The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through Nov. 30. Ninety-seven percent of tropical cyclone activity occurs during this time period, NOAA said. The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories. When is the peak of hurricane season? The peak of the season is Sept. 10, with the most activity happening between mid-August and mid-October, according to the Hurricane Center. Hurricane names for 2025 season Here are the names for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, along with how to pronounce them. The first hurricane of the season typically forms Aug. 11. Andrea (June 20) Barry (June 29) Chantal (July 5) Dexter: (Aug. 3) Erin: (Aug. 11; hurricane Aug. 15) Fernand: fair-NAHN (historically forms Aug. 29) Gabrielle: ga-bree-ELL Humberto: oom-BAIR-toh Imelda: ee-MEHL-dah Jerry: JEHR-ee Karen: KAIR-ren Lorenzo: loh-REN-zoh Melissa: meh-LIH-suh Nestor: NES-tor Olga: OAL-guh Pablo: PAHB-lo Rebekah: reh-BEH-kuh Sebastien: se-BAS-tee-en Tanya: TAHN-yuh Van: van Wendy: WEN-dee National Hurricane Center map: See what forecasters watching now Systems currently being monitored by the National Hurricane Center include: Interactive map: Hurricanes, tropical storms that have passed near your city Stay informed.

MacIntrye and Hatton qualify for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Lowry vs Hojgaard for last automatic spot
VIRGINIA WATER, England (AP) — Robert MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton have secured automatic qualification to Europe's Ryder Cup team for next month's matches at Bethpage Black, leaving just one guaranteed place up for grabs. Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood were already sure to be on the team, so captain Luke Donald knows five of his players for the defense of the cup on Sept. 26-28. The sixth and final automatic spot will go to Shane Lowry or Rasmus Hojgaard. Lowry occupies No. 6 place in Europe's points list but could be overtaken by Hojgaard, who has one event left in qualifying — the British Masters starting Thursday. Hojgaard needs to finish in a two-way tie for 29th or better to guarantee his place on the team. Lowry does not have another qualification event. Donald will then have six captain's picks to complete his team. 'Two great characters and golfers back on Team Europe,' Donald posted on X on Monday about MacIntyre and Hatton. 'Team is shaping up nicely.' MacIntyre finished second to Scottie Scheffler at the BMW Championship on Sunday and moved into second place in the Ryder Cup rankings for Europe. It will be the Scot's second Ryder Cup appearance. He was part of the winning team at the Marco Simone club outside Rome in 2023. ___ AP golf:
