What is Mounjaro and Zepbound?

Mounjaro and Zepbound both contain tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes and is the most prescribed injectable medication for that condition, generating $23.0 billion in FY2025 revenue. Zepbound is approved for obesity and obstructive sleep apnea and is the most prescribed injectable medication for weight management, generating $13.5 billion in FY2025 revenue. In clinical trials, tirzepatide demonstrated superior efficacy to competing GLP-1 drugs, with patients losing approximately 20% of their body weight in obesity trials.

What is Foundayo (orforglipron)?

Foundayo (orforglipron) is the first FDA-approved oral GLP-1 pill for weight loss, approved by the FDA in Q1 2026. It is a once-daily oral non-peptide GLP-1 agonist that can be taken any time of day without food or water restrictions, differentiating it from other GLP-1 medications. In late-stage trials, orforglipron helped overweight adults without diabetes lose 12.4% of their body weight over 72 weeks at the highest dose. Lilly submitted orforglipron for type 2 diabetes approval in the US in Q2 2026 and has submitted applications in China and Japan.

What is the 340B lawsuit about?

Tampa General Hospital sued Eli Lilly in July 2026, alleging the drugmaker unlawfully cut off discounts under the federal 340B drug pricing programme after the hospital refused to provide prescription-level claims data through Lilly's 340B Electronic Submission Platform. Tampa General alleges it now pays 25% to 50% more on average for Lilly medications. About 3,000 hospitals participate in the 340B programme. Lilly says the reporting requirement is necessary to prevent duplicate discounts and programme abuses. The American Hospital Association and American Medical Association have urged federal officials to intervene.
