Businesses will have between 60 and 90 days to phase out their products. Specialty pharmacies and online companies that have been selling off-brand copies of two blockbuster drugs for obesity and diabetes will need to phase out their versions next year under a federal decision issued Thursday.The Food and Drug Administration said that a nationwide shortage of Eli Lilly’s Zepbound and Mounjaro has been resolved, eliminating the need for copycat versions of the drugs that have become wildly popular with Americans trying to lose weight.The decision is a win for Lilly—which had been pressing the FDA to take the step for months—and is expected to impact how patients access the drugs, including how much they pay.Zepbound is FDA-approved to treat obesity and Mounjaro is approved for diabetes.
