Drugmaker Eli Lilly is significantly lowering the prices of the two lowest doses of its blockbuster weight loss drug Zepbound, it said Tuesday, in a move to expand access and ease supply constraints. Two key changes to how people get and use the cheaper medicine, however, might not be appealing to some patients. Under the new pricing plan, a month’s supply of the lowest dose, 2.5 milligrams, will cost $399, while a month’s supply of the 5 mg dose will cost $549.
Who can get the lower-cost vials? Lilly said the lower-cost vials of Zepbound will provide patients with another option, particularly people without insurance, those whose insurance won’t cover the cost of the drug or those who don’t qualify for the company’s discount savings program. Zepbound’s savings program excludes people on government-run insurance programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
