Now, earlier you had mentioned there was another pill that might come onto the scene.
Who is making that one?
A whole new compound for their pill formation.
How does it work?
OK, so Eli Lilly's putting their pill through clinical trials.
Does this guy get to meet the patients?
Ooh, well, does it work?
Okay, how does this pill's efficacy compare to its competitor, the pill made by Novo Nordisk?
And that's about the same as Wegovy.
Oh, so the pill performed about as well as the injectable?
So big picture, as a pharmaceuticals person, I know you've talked to many people over the years about GLP-1 drugs.
What do patients think of this?
Yeah, you said earlier that injectables can be over $1,000 a month, certainly a few hundred dollars a month, depending on your situation.
So are the pills going to be cheaper?
Thank you for having me.
