    Drug makers are greedy. There's no excuse for the exploitation.

      @@Bookworm-ye9qi No, I'm angry they overcharge to begin with. Speaking as someone with insurance, good, expensive insurance that spends 1500 a month in co pays for medications 20x less in other countries. I'm mad because its absurd

    Still wayy too expensive, its cheaper to do compound medication, and its the SAME medication from Eli Lilly, just at a fraction of the cost!

      ​@@Bewefau Compound medication is the exact same drug as the name brand but made by a pharmacist. It's often cheaper and tailored to what you need.

      Usually has something added so it does not violate patent rights of the branded product.

      @@tnnsboy18 what’s the beef? You just said “tailored”. That makes it different. I’ve read and listened to a lot of information. So back off your stupid comment to me. Just the fact that the word “compound” makes it different. From good Rex:
      Compounded medications aren’t the same as regular prescription drugs. They’re custom-made formulations that are specific to your needs. They’re usually prescribed when a medication, dose, or dosage form isn’t commercially available.
      I’m on the compounded zepbound, so I’m onboard and not miss-informed, as you’ve insinuated.

    The vials are to stop the shortage and fight compounding. It is for the smaller doses to stop dose splitting which saves Americans so much money. Increased cost underhanded to stop the shortage. .. Dear Bernie Sanders: Please help fund tirzepatide .... as evidenced by decrease in dialysis census and co-morbid conditions saving overall healthcare costs ZILLIONS of dollars. What comes around goes around comes back around. This drug is amazing!

    Sounds like you’re just giving all your food budget to the pharmacy. I wouldn’t have any money left for the rest of the month to eat. Sounds like a hell of a weight loss program.

    I was looking into getting zipbound . Especially after price drop. A CVS pharmacist advised me it was all a scam to actually get more money from customers. Apparently, Eli Lilly was offering a manufacturers discount coupon for zipbound. Coupon gave you $500 off a month. In August they announced a price drop of $350 a month. At same time they eliminated coupon. So instead of paying $500 a month with coupon, now you pay $650 a month. 😮

    These prices are still immorally HIGH! They are making insane amounts of money, and are already sitting on mega billions of dollars.

    Some doctors don't know about the benefits of the drugs or they're biased and don't tell their patients about them.

    Make the product cheaper than people won't see other routes to take. There just greedy. I bet it cost you more buying the single use ones over the muilt use ones.
