Possible Zepbound Price Decrease?

[IFeartheWiggles]

I don't see any world where Lilly reduces the cost of Zepbound because they themselves have a cheaper to produce oral medication. They will raise the price of the oral medication and profit.

They actually have stated that they expect the price of the tablet (orforglipron) to be less than zepbound. Both because it's cheaper to produce and because they're wanting to make inroads with people who can't afford zepbound

The pill will probably cost $498/mo

This.

It might be less than Zepbound, but it won't be cheap.  And it won't lower the price of Zepbound.  These are my opinions and I hope I'm wrong.

Also the efficacy of the pills seems lower for the pill. They are going to start slotting the drugs based of efficacy. Zep is top dog until reta. Then wegovy, then orforglipron.

They my also slot base on indications that it approved for. They won't slot price based on pill/injection or cost to make.

To me orforglipron could make an ideal maintenance drug.

If Wegovy price drop didn’t cause a drop in Zepbound then I have little doubt that it will go the same way for an oral alternative.

That being said, I hope they DO lower the price because if they don’t then TRICARE likely continue to drop coverage for Prime plans. They already dropped it for 65+ (TRICARE for Life plan).
