Eli Lilly & Co.: Mounjaro+Zepbound Script Tracker
UpdateMwrite an oral GLP-1 script, ~¾ of scripts are from lower frequency writers and 80%
scripts are from PCPs (vs. 20% specialists) all suggesting expansion of the market.
Novo's oral Wegovy recorded ~143,000/120,900 TRx/NRx this week vs.
~137,300/117,700 last week. However, Novo noted that early script data excludes
certain channels (NovoCare and telehealth) until integration with IQVIA, so will miss
scripts from some cash channels at the beginning of the launch. Novo said it is
encouraged by current dynamics, with TRx of ~89k in the week of March 13
reflecting a ~60% capture rate (vs. ~50% at the FY results in February). Novo noted
on 2/11/26 that more than 246k patients in the US are on oral Wegovy and most of
them are new to the GLP-1 category (LINK; vs. ~170k on 4Q25 EPS on 2/4/26). On
2/19/26, IQVIA disclosed that it will implement a projection adjustment for Wegovy
in the mail channel, effective with the data week ending 2/13. The estimated impact
is +5-7% (~+11-17k scripts), with an additional impact of +4% (~+13k scripts) for the
week ending 2/20. LLY noted on 4Q EPS that they are very encouraged by what
they see with oral Wegovy (i.e., mostly new starts) and it validates their view that
orals will expand the market. See Exhibit 4 within for our launch sensitivity
analysis. Oral Wegovy represents ~13.0% of total GLP-1 volumes for obesity.
Our sensitivity analysis assesses the TRx volumes Foundayo would need to
achieve to reach VA consensus U.S. sales of ~$1.3bn in 2026. For this analysis we
now assume a net price of ~$262/month, which is what we model for the year. Our
assumptions also incorporate oral Wegovy trends adjusted for data not captured by
