Mounjaro, made by US pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, is vying for market share among a new class of drugs originally designed to treat diabetes which have been shown to aid dramatic weight loss
Subject to final guidance, the once-weekly jab should be prescribed alongside a reduced-calorie diet and exercise, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has said. The Nice guidance said Eli Lilly proposes that the drug should be available to those with a BMI of 30 with at least one weight-related condition. However, the NHS spending watchdog said the “most likely cost-effectiveness estimates for this group are above the range that Nice considers an acceptable use of NHS resources”.
A four-week supply of pre-filled pen injections of Mounjaro ranges from £92 for the lowest dose to £122 for the highest. The price of Wegovy ranges from £73.25 to £175.80 per pack, with each pack containing one pen that delivers four doses.
