That is a fair point. NVO is the current legit competition and they make the Ozempic / Wegovy. Insurance pays for some of that.
Zepbound and Mounjaro are the primary USA products made by Lilly. Insurance pays for some of that.
I own both stocks. Due to the supply shortages, three of us have sampled a mix. For me, the Lilly works far better.
Do know two people who have tried the knockoff Wegovy. For one short timer, it is working. The other could not tolerate it.
Bottom line, obesity is a massive issue (hey, a pun). Insurance understands that keeping people thin helps minimize the other super expensive procedures.
Don’t know who makes the Him / Her product, but fat people will probably buy it.
Bottom line for me..they currently can’t make the LLY products fast enough. Demand currently exceeds supply..at full price.
People want to eat junk, not exercise, and be somewhat thin. LLY makes it possible.
