So Mounjaro won’t go up by as much as thought?

Has the manufacturer backed down? https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/national/uk-today/25424479.mounjaro-prices-may-not-increase-much-announced/

thwts Not logical op. This was not a short term ploy to get people to buy an extra couple of pens, think about it. It is simply mortgaging the business as they order less another time. And folks aren’t taking extra, it’s not like a multi pack of crisps.

You’re probably right. I’m just grumpy about it all!

Maybe the rumoured pen changes are true and as the new pens will not have any excess medication, they wanted to clear out the old style?

It just feels like a rip-off all round.

I've just ordered another Moujaro because I was due to anyway but was seriously contemplating switching to Wegovy.

I now have a month to consider prices.

Apologies if this is a silly question, but why isn't anyone in the UK producing this medication?

Bloody hell! Now that really would have been a cunning plan...

its still under patent. Manufacturers usually have 10 years after bringing their product to market to be the sole supplier before other producers are allowed to produce their own versions.

This Isn’t old stock they needed to get rid of. It isn’t something lying in the back of a store room. They were already selling it, would have continued to sell it.

This is old news. The prices have been set and they’re high

how do people bulk buy? Do they just get prescriptions from multiple providers at the same time?

I was wondering this

Some providers offer multiple pen bundles.

Ah thanks.

I have actually bought 4 pens in August by using 3 different suppliers. One was bought at the start of the month, one the day before the big announcement and the other 2 were just after it. I used different suppliers because all the ‘bundle’ offers were for increasing dosage pens and I wanted them all the same.

I hadn't realised you could buy them from more than one supplier

No, I hadn’t either - I suppose if each is a separate prescription it is ok?

Iq doctor is now selling 15mg for £304.99. Only the wealthy will be able to afford it.

Mounjaro has cornered the market and they have Serena Williams promoting it. She looks amazing.

Serena Williams has absolutely nothing to do with it. EL have patented their product.

Serena is promoting her husband’s company, Ro, which is a US telehealth company that sells all of the current weight loss injections, not just Mounjaro/Zepbound. She has nothing to do with Eli Lilly who manufacturer Mounjaro/Zepbound.

It's about advertising. More people will buy it. I weren't on about it being patented. I am studying marketing at the moment so don't mind me.

Why did you respond to someone comment about why it isn’t being made in the uk if you are chatting about marketing? Totally irrelevant to the post you quoted.

Without marketing no one will buy it. Mounjaro would be an unknown product. This country is not beating America they are much more forward thinking than us when it comes to business and productivity. Since we left Europe we became poorer and bottom feeders.

That has nothing to do with the patent.
