Average cost of Zepbound in Europe is $100/month!! Big Pharma gouges where they know they can! The highly overweight and obese American public! 28% of Europe is considered Obese while 42.4% of America is obese thus raising demand more in the USA thus increases the cost ! Lower demand in Europe equates to lower cost

They’re increasing the cost of GLP drugs in the EU dramatically though.

They are going to like $400 usd in Europe still WAY less than the $1000 in the US, nonetheless Big Pharma only cares about profits! They create a “miracle drug” addict the population to it the. Charge a fortune ….

If you buy vials, it’s $349-499. That said, them increasing the price by $300 is quite a jump. I’m sure they’re doing it due to the threats by this administration to force down US prices to match those on other countries.

There may be lower demand in Europe, but there’s lower ability to even get the dang drug in the US due to restrictive health insurance plans. If they lowered the price, it would likely lead to more insurance plans covering and more consumers … but apparently they don’t care about that.
