The results are in – spending on GLP-1s is now the highest of any drug class in the nation. A new study from the AJHP found that GLP-1s contributed to a 13.5% increase in national drug expenditures. Last year, spending on #semaglutide (the active ingredient in #Ozempic and #Wegovy) doubled to a staggering $38.6 billion – more than any other drug in the U.S. GLP-1s have an important role to play in combating our metabolic health crisis, but they aren’t for everyone, forever.
