Mounjaro Mayhem: Price Hikes, Access Wars, & Dangerous DIY Hacks Grip Weight Loss Drug Craze
The cost of the popular weight-loss drug Mounjaro, manufactured by Eli Lilly, was set to significantly increase in the UK from September 1st, leading to widespread concern among patients. Initial announcements indicated wholesale prices would more than double, with the highest 15mg dose rising from £122 to £330 a month, and mid-range doses like 5mg jumping from £92 to £180.
