What Is the Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program?

The Novo Nordisk Patient Assistance Program is a savings and support initiative developed by Novo Nordisk. It helps qualifying individuals obtain certain FDA-approved medications at a lower or no cost, when eligible. The program is designed primarily for those without prescription coverage or with limited income.

Eden does not operate this program. However, Eden connects users to licensed healthcare providers who may help assess eligibility and provide prescriptions, if medically appropriate.

What Medications May Be Included?

The program may include access to GLP-1 medications that are FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes:

Ozempic® (semaglutide) – Injectable GLP-1 approved for type 2 diabetes
Rybelsus® (oral semaglutide) – Oral form approved for type 2 diabetes
Victoza® (liraglutide) – GLP-1 medication approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

Only licensed healthcare providers can determine if one of these medications is medically appropriate for you based on your health history. Eligibility is not guaranteed.

Eligibility is determined by Novo Nordisk and may include:
