The US is the worst country in the world for drug prices. Hands down.
The average cost to develop a new drug for the US market? About $1 billion from start to finish.
Mounjaro came out at the end of 2022 and Eli Lilly made $279.2 million from it.
In 2023, its first full year, they made $5.16 billion in sales.
In 2024 they made $11.54 billion.
They have at least 12 more years of patent protection.

Oh .. and these numbers exclude Zepbound.

If Eli Lilly said it, then it must be true! The worst...for them.
