Mounjaro+Zepbound Script Tracker
UpdateMweek 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 ~13.1% of total GLP-1 volumes for obesity.
Separately, outside the U.S., Novo launched oral Wegovy in the UAE on 06/03/2026
(LINK), with UK approval following on 06/11/2026 (LINK).
Our sensitivity analysis assesses the TRx volumes Foundayo would need to
achieve to reach VA consensus U.S. sales of ~$1.1bn in 2026. For this analysis we
assume a net price of ~$280/month, which is what we model for the year. Our
assumptions also incorporate oral Wegovy trends adjusted for data not captured by
IQVIA relative to reported data (see above), and our projected assumptions assume
Novo/LLY oral market share reaches 50%/50% share within ~16 weeks
post‑Foundayo launch. Under these assumptions, Foundayo TRx would need to
ramp to volumes above recent GLP‑1 launches (e.g., Zepbound autoinjector/vial) -
see Exhibit 2 . This translates to Foundayo TRx of ~3.7mn (or ~102k/week).
For oral Wegovy, consensus U.S. sales of $2.3bn (we believe mostly US) would
require ~8.6mn TRx (~109k/week) at an assumed net price of $263/month (see
Exhibit 3 ), which is the blended price assumed by our EU team. Per Novo, IQVIA
data will not have all the channels for oral Wegovy, and will miss scripts from some
cash channels at the beginning of the launch.
On 5/28/26, LLY announced that all three major PBMs now provide coverage
across the company’s obesity portfolio, including CVS/Caremark initiating
coverage of Foundayo beginning June 1 and resuming broader Zepbound
