US President Donald Trump recently reached a significant agreement with pharmaceutical companies Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to reduce prices for weight loss injections Wegovy and Zepbound in the US. This initiative is part of a broader plan to combat excessive drug prices in the United States, which are often significantly higher compared to Europe and Asia. The USA is considered one of the most expensive markets for medicines in the world, which Trump now wants to change.
The weight loss injections Wegovy and Zepbound, which regulate appetite and have led to significant weight loss in studies, are in high demand in the USA. However, they are expensive and are rarely reimbursed by insurance companies. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have agreed to offer these drugs at prices based on international standards. In return, they gain access to millions of new patients through government programs like Medicare.
Another aspect of the agreement is the launch of a new portal called “TrumpRx” through which patients can purchase the drugs directly from manufacturers at cheaper prices. Trump announced that the price of Wegovy would be reduced from around $1,350 to ultimately $250 per month. Zepbound will be reduced from just under $1,000 to $346 per month. Future tablet versions of the active ingredients should also be more affordable.
Trump’s Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the agreement a historic breakthrough in the fight against chronic diseases such as obesity, which account for a significant portion of health care costs in the United States. The drugs have previously been reserved primarily for wealthy patients. The active ingredients are also approved in Germany, but weight loss products are generally not reimbursed by statutory health insurance companies.
