Eli Lilly on Tuesday 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.

It expands the company’s effort to boost the U.S. supply of Zepbound as demand soars, and to ensure eligible patients are safely accessing the real treatment instead of cheaper compounded versions.

The company is selling 7.5 milligram and 10 milligram vials of Zepbound for US$499 per month when patients fill their first prescription, and any time they refill within 45 days of their previous delivery.

Otherwise, those two doses will cost US$599 and US$699, respectively.

Also on Tuesday, Eli Lilly said it is lowering the price of both of the lower-dose vials of Zepbound by US$50.

The 2.5 milligram vial will now cost US$349, and the 5 milligram vial will now be priced at US$499.

Eli Lilly said on Sunday its drug Zepbound was superior to Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy across five weight-loss targets such as reducing waist circumference, citing data from a head-to-head trial.

The data is the first head-to-head trial comparing the wildly popular medicines, and gives Lilly more firepower as it seeks to gain wider insurance coverage in an obesity drug market estimated to reach more than $150 billion annually by the next decade.

Zepbound helped nearly 25% more participants lose more than 15% of their weight compared to Wegovy, Lilly said on Sunday.
