(cont'd from yesterday's post)
"Mounjaro" is the new closest thing to a magic pill. In a trial, the typical person weighing 230 pounds was able to take off up to 50 pounds, about 22% of their weight. Compare that to the 17% achievable with ozempic.
Already being used for type 2 diabetes, it's expected to soon be approved by U.S. regulators for weight loss.
Eli Lilly & Co. is producing it. Doctors and patients are excited. So it's helping Lilly become the most valuable drug company in the U.S.
Drug companies are way cautious about introducing new drugs to the public. Of course they are and must be. But Lilly has been able to bring mounjaro, which has existed for over ten years, to the public now by speeding up their whole process.
