Eli Lilly is cutting the cost of certain weight loss drugs, with new single-dose vials costing less than other medications used for obesity.
Eli Lilly is slashing the cost of certain weight loss drugs and selling them for half the price of other drugs. The pharmaceutical company said Tuesday that it is offering 2.5 mg and 5 mg single-dose vials of tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Zepbound, based on growing demand from consumers. Eli Lilly tells FOX Business that the new single doses are priced at a 50% or greater discount compared to the list price of all other GLP-1 medicines for obesity.
The drug company tells FOX business that the extra supply will help adults with obesity gain access to the medication they need, this includes people ineligible for the Zepbound savings card program, individuals without employer coverage and those who are paying outside of insurance.
