Topline<\/p>\n

Eli Lilly on Monday lowered the cost of Zepbound after the pharmaceutical giant and Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk announced a deal with the Trump administration to slash the prices of the popular weight-loss drugs. <\/p>\n

The pharmaceutical giant and Novo Nordisk said they would lower the prices of their popular weight loss drugs to expand access.<\/p>\n

The out-of-pocket monthly price for the lowest single-dose vial of Zepbound is now $299 when purchased through Eli Lilly\u2019s platform LillyDirect, a 14% decrease from $349, while the 5-milligram dose was cut to $399, a roughly 20% cut from $499, Eli Lilly announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n
