Eli Lilly launched a new version of its weight loss drug, Mounjaro, at half the price. This move aims to increase access for patients and undercut generic competition. The lower price is possible due to a change in the injection system, from auto-injector pens to single-dose vials requiring syringes.
  • Eli Lilly's new Mounjaro version is half the price of its predecessor.
  • The new version uses vials and syringes instead of auto-injector pens.
  • This strategy aims to compete with generic knockoffs and rival Novo Nordisk.
  • Eli Lilly's stock is up significantly this year.
