Lifetime health effects and cost-effectiveness of tirzepatide and semaglutide in US adults

JAMA Health Forum

About The Study: 

This economic evaluation found that although tirzepatide and semaglutide offered substantial long-term health benefits, they were not cost-effective at current net prices. Efforts to reduce the net prices of new anti-obesity medications are essential to ensure equitable access to highly effective anti-obesity medications.
