Ask specifically what the all-in monthly cost is before you assume a headline number is the complete picture
When your target is 25 units (2.5 mg at 10 mg/mL), reading the 25th line on a 0.5 mL syringe is much easier and more accurate than trying to hit the midpoint between 24 and 26 on a 1 mL syringe where lines are spaced closer together
I know that people know that and thats why everybody wants it, but hate when they just say, Well, we just cant manufacture it fast enough. Like, whats the deal? Be prepared Lilly has opted to continue to allow new patients to start on Zepbound, rather than attempting to limit the supply to current users, something that Novo Nordisk did last year at the height of Wegovys shortage by restricting the supply of the lowest dose
If cost is a barrier prompting consideration of less frequent dosing, discuss this openlypatient assistance programs, alternative GLP-1 receptor agonists, or other therapeutic options may be available
