OMG, I'm in shock at the US prices!! The pharmaceutical company is taking advantage of you all. That makes me so angry. I'm in the UK and bought them from an approved UK pharmacy website for £48 per pen. I paid £485 for 10 pens, a box of 100 needles and sharps box. And I thought that was expensive! On the NHS you have to have a BMI of 35 and other health related issues to qualify. My BMI is 32 with no health issues other than back and neck pain. On the pharmacy website, you just need a BMI of 30. I'm on week 3 and have already lost 11 pounds. You can do this, I have complete faith in you. Good luck.

I have Anthem BCBS too and I just got my first order of Saxenda today. It was 100% covered by Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and I also got a box of 100 needles 100% covered. Maybe Saxenda changed it since you posted the video 11 months ago but it’s definitely covered now. But it may also depend on what plan you have. I have the highest coverage plan they offer, the gold plan. So that may be why too. And I get the whole box of five pens. They also gave me a free sharpes box.

Thank you so much for the review, it helps alot👌👍 Dose it stop the sugar craving ?

[@latoyiamayle5608]

I have Anthem BCBS and I called today to ask if it's covered and they told me it's not.

[@harvey1965]

The price you pay is unfairly insane! I'm an Australian and 1 Saxenda pen costs $86 AUD ... thus $57 USD ... a box of 5 pens costs $496 AUD thus $329 USD ... the pharmaceutical companies in your country are a-holes!

I have united healthcare. I am starting this med as soon as it's restocked at Walgreens. Are you saying one pen lasts 30 days or 1 week? How much for 1 pen? Are you in the US?

[@mohaosman1473]

1 pen will last you 1 months if you inject 0,6 every day , that’s the way I understood. Since there is 18mg

[@mohaosman1473]

So 18/30 days is 0,6 a day. Hope that helped

[@Zeverinsen]

Oh wow, medication is so expensive in the US!

[@gonzalosossa7437]

They want you fat and docile

[@t.r.9542]

What a crazy prices.... CRAZYYYYYYY. In the netherlands you pay around 40 euro per pen. I think this lady is crazy to promote this scam.
