Arthur Booker+FollowWho’s Really Stocking Your Medicine Cabinet?Ever wonder where your meds really come from? Turns out, most of America’s go-to drugs are now made overseas, mainly in China and India. That’s led to shortages and even safety scares—like cancer treatments delayed when a single foreign factory got shut down. The big money tip? Don’t assume ‘Made in USA’ means all-American ingredients. If you’re worried, ask your pharmacist about drug origins and keep an eye on FDA alerts. It’s your health, after all! #DrugShortages #HealthHacks #PharmaNews #Business #Industry30Share
Edward Parrish+FollowObesity Drug Copycats Are Getting WildObesity drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound were in such high demand that compounding pharmacies and telehealth startups started whipping up their own versions—sometimes with a twist, like adding B-12. Now that shortages are over, the FDA is cracking down, but some companies are still pushing the limits by personalizing meds. The legal gray area is real, and the ads for these alternatives are EVERYWHERE. Would you trust a compounded weight loss drug you found online? #ObesityDrugs #Telehealth #PharmaNews #Health #BodyHealth24Share
Alexandria Simmons+FollowWegovy Weight Loss Shots Just Got CheaperHeads up if you’ve been eyeing those weight loss shots! Novo Nordisk is slashing the price of Wegovy to $199 for your first month—way down from the old $1,000 sticker shock. Why the sudden deal? The FDA just banned those cheaper, DIY pharmacy versions, so Novo is swooping in to win back customers. But with rival brands like Zepbound helping folks lose even more weight, this price drop is all about keeping you in their corner. Would you make the switch? #Wegovy #WeightLoss #PharmaNews #Business3223Share
Lori Elliott+FollowWegovy’s $199 Deal—But Read the Fine Print!Wegovy just dropped a $199 price tag for a month’s supply—but only if you’re switching from a compounded version and you’re uninsured or your insurance won’t cover it. After June 30, it jumps back to $499. Why the sudden discount? The FDA’s cracking down on cheaper, compounded versions, so Novo Nordisk is making a play for those customers. If you’ve been getting your meds from a compounding pharmacy, heads up: that loophole’s closing fast! #Wegovy #WeightLoss #PharmaNews #Healthcare #GLP1 #Health00Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowBioNTech’s Big Cancer Drug MoveBioNTech is making waves again—this time, they’re prepping to file for approval of their first cancer drug, BNT323, by the end of 2024. But with all the tariff drama and global supply chain jitters, they’re not taking any chances: BioNTech’s diversifying its suppliers so they’re not just relying on China. Plus, they’re sitting on a massive cash pile from their COVID-19 vaccine days, fueling even more cancer research. New CFO incoming, too! #BioNTech #CancerResearch #PharmaNews #DrugApproval #Biotech #Health110Share
Adam Cox+FollowMexico’s Big Pharma Shake-Up?Did you hear Mexico might rewrite its Constitution to guarantee access to meds, vaccines, and medical devices? The government wants to boost homegrown pharma, cut down on imports, and make sure everyone gets what they need—no more relying on outside sources for critical health stuff. If this passes, it could totally change how medicines are made and distributed in Mexico. But if they don’t coordinate with current laws and global agreements, it could get messy for patients. Major health system plot twist! #PharmaNews #Mexico #Healthcare #ConstitutionalReform #HealthAccess #Health241Share
Kristin Shaw+FollowCould Your Meds Get Pricier Soon?Heads up: A big pharma boss in Germany is sounding the alarm about sky-high energy bills. He says if things don’t change, major drug factories might shut down, and that could mean pricier meds or even shortages. It’s like when your favorite coffee shop closes because rent’s too high—except it’s your prescriptions at stake. The drama? A US giant, Dow, is thinking about packing up and leaving Germany. If they do, it could set off a chain reaction, with job losses rippling through other industries. Watch this space! #MoneyMatters #PharmaNews #EnergyCrisis #LifeHacks #Business60Share
Kim Reeves+FollowRoche Drops $50B in the US—What’s in It for Us?Big news: Swiss pharma giant Roche is dropping a whopping $50 billion in the US over the next five years. Translation?
