Novo Nordisk is working on a pill form of Semaglutide using their "SNAC" technology. The recent news about Amycretin was also encouraging, although still in early trials. I agree that pills will be the preferred method of administration for most people. This would mean easier production, distribution and storage. Unfortunately, I am less optimistic that Novo or Evil Lilly would charge any less for the pills. We need competition from more companies, not just a different form of the medication.

If the drug costs less to make , store , transport and distribute the price will be lower. More so if there are multiple oral drugs on the market. In fact they may be able to make MORE money charging less. The vast majority of Americans aren’t able to afford the current price structure. 50% profit levels on 10 sales are a lot better than 200% profit levels on 1.


There are 104 million obese Americans. And 86 million overweight. Around 15 million are on glp 1 drugs ( legit scripts ) currently. The drug companies could sell a LOT more at a lower price point. And they are going to have to in a few years when patents expire.

Agreed. Over time the prices will fall. Granted I’m not paying much now thanks to Chinese vendors.

Refrigerator needs and transport is huge for the companies and wholesalers, oral tabs will be cheaper all around.
