Novo Nordisk (the maker of Wegovy) and Eli Lilly (the maker of Zepbound) have both decreased the price of these weight loss drugs for people who are paying out of pocket or do not have insurance coverage for weight loss drugs

GLP1 receptors are also expressed on MCR 4 receptor+ neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus (Li, Navarrete, et al., 2019)

Optum Rx has built a comprehensive framework for GLP1 management that includes: Pipeline surveillance
