(CNN) – Drugmaker Novo Nordisk announced Monday it is making its weight-loss drug Wegovy available as a pill for less than $150 a month.
The program is for the starter dose of the popular drug.
It’s an option for people who don’t want to do a weekly injection.

Novo Nordisk said higher doses will also be available in pill form, at different price points, by the end of the week.
The new starter-dose deal is for patients who can pay cash. It was set up through an agreement the company made with the Trump administration.
