The brand, which is manufactured by Novo Nordisk, will be available in Walmart pharmacies this week and Sam’s Club pharmacies in mid-July. Walmart estimates that these products will save customers between 58% to 75%, which is $101 saved per branded vial or $251 per package of branded FlexPens.

“We know many people with diabetes struggle to manage the financial burden of this condition, and we are focused on helping by providing affordable solutions.
