  • Eli Lilly released higher doses of its weight loss drug Zepbound in single-dose vials at as much as half its usual monthly list price to reach more patients without insurance coverage for the blockbuster injection, such as those with Medicare.
  • The company is offering those vials through its direct-to-consumer website, LillyDirect, which started offering lower doses of the drug in vials in August.
