Eli Lilly filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission to block companies from importing and selling cheaper versions of its hit drug Mounjaro.
Eli Lilly filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission on Thursday to block companies from importing and selling cheaper versions of its blockbuster drug Mounjaro online, accusing them of misleading and endangering American consumers seeking to lose weight.
The complaint to the trade commission, however, targets companies that sell their compounds directly to consumers online, often without a prescription that would be required for Mounjaro and other FDA-approved drugs. Lilly is seeking an order from the federal agency that would bar all imports of products that violate fair trade provisions, such as the infringing of its trademark, as well as cease-and-desist orders to the individual companies it has targeted.
Mounjaro, Ozempic and Wegovy have proven so popular that their manufacturers haven’t been able to keep up with demand, leading the FDA to declare the drugs in short supply. Thathas opened the door for compounding pharmacies to mix up versions of the FDA-approved drugs, giving rise to an industry built on selling the off-brand versions far more cheaply.Lilly emphasized in the complaint that it has invested heavily in expanding capacity to make Mounjaro.
