Ozempic costs $936 per month, while Wegovy costs $1,350
Ozempic costs $155 in Canada, and cost $59 in Germany. This dramatic difference in cost has led to concerns about the accessibility and affordability of these drugs for American patients.
With the cardiovascular disease indication, millions of additional medicare patients are eligible for taking Wegovy which means billions at the current prices

Zepbound Single Dose Vials Approved! Apr 01, 2024

Show notes

Send a text

In the largest move since approving Tirzepatide for chronic weight management in November of 2023, the FDA has posted the approval of a single-dose vial presentation of Zepbound. With the complexity of manufacturing the current single-dose pens, single dose vial presentations could prove to be an answer to increasing manufacturing shortages of Tirzepatide for both type 2 diabetes (Mounjaro) and chronic weight management (Zepbound). The FDA approved the single-dose vials of Mounjaro in July of 2023, but Eli Lilly has elected to offer that presentation in x-US markets only.
