Weight-Loss Drugs Could Cost Just $3 a Month to Make as Patents End

A blockbuster anti-obesity and diabetes drug could cost as little as $3 per month to manufacture once it goes off patent later this month, researchers said Friday, providing a major opportunity to boost health in low and middle-income countries.

I pay about $10 a month now for max dose. But it would be nice to see it from a legit source for prices like that.

I doubt that will be in the US that is in other countries I imagine

It won’t be $3.00 for long. You can bet once the demand is great the prices will shoot up drastically

$3 a month to MAKE (manufacture) one persons monthly dosage, but common sense has to factor in profit/shareholders stakes, not to mention packaging, shipping, and all the other real costs associated with the actual mfg/distribution etc. That "cost" reference point means nothing with regard to actual selling price point. I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest it's already well below that cost per "monthly dose" and has been for quite some time, after amortization of production facilities/equipment, etc.

If we're getting X MG for Y $$ you rest assured the cost isn't -2x to -3x what we're outlaying, more like -10x to -30x, so more accurately I'd think even now they are at "pennies per dose" versus the cited "could be as low as $3 per".

This could be great news for millions of people. But as for me, I'll wait until Tirz gets affordable before I change my approach
