Earlier: Some drugs initially approved to treat Type 2 diabetes are now being used for cosmetic weight loss. WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez explains how they work, their side effects, and concerns over unintended consequences. Illustration: Elizabeth SmelovU.S. drug regulators have approved expanding the use of Eli Lilly ’s diabetes drug Mounjaro to include the treatment of obesity. The Food and Drug Administration’s decision Wednesday furthers the rapid rise of Mounjaro—and similar-acting therapies Ozempic and Wegovy from Novo Nordisk —that have in a matter of months reshaped the treatment of obesity and doctors’ understanding of its roots.

Diabetes drugs could become an effective way to treat behavioral issues and addiction. WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez breaks down the science on how they work and how they could change psychiatry forever. Photo illustration: Elizabeth SmelovEli Lilly ’s blockbuster diabetes medication Mounjaro is expected to receive Food and Drug Administration approval as an obesity treatment before the end of the year, which would lead to a surge in demand. Whether there will be enough of the drug is a different question. Both Lilly and its competitor, Denmark’s Novo Nordisk , which makes Ozempic and its sister drug Wegovy, are struggling to meet skyrocketing demand for their medications.

Diabetes drugs could become an effective way to treat behavioral issues and addiction. WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez breaks down the science on how they work and how they could change psychiatry forever. Photo illustration: Elizabeth SmelovWegovy maker Novo Nordisk reported soaring profit, boosted by blockbuster weight-loss drugs that have quickly made the Danish drugmaker Europe’s most valuable company. Surging demand for the drugs has supercharged the company’s stock price, tilted the scales of its home economy in Denmark and triggered a frenzy on Wall Street over how the treatments and others like it might affect other industries, including snack foods and airlines.

Ozempic Boom Is an Opportunity for Health Insurers

WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez breaks down the science of how diabetes drugs work—and how they could change psychiatry. Photo illustration: Elizabeth SmelovYou would think a new class of high-price weight loss drugs taken by millions of Americans would be a problem for health insurers. But it is more complicated than that: Some insurance giants actually stand to profit from the Ozempic craze. The industry has been calling out the costs of GLP-1 drugs, which are used for both diabetes and obesity. But federally supported Medicare and Medicaid still don’t cover the drugs for obesity, and much of the commercial market is self-insured.

Some construction crews in Texas are no longer guaranteed water breaks under a new law. Critics say the law will override the few protections that construction workers in Austin and Houston are guaranteed, including 10-minute breaks every four hours to drink water and rest in the shade. The agency in 2021 started collecting information to help inform a national heat standard for indoor and outdoor workers, but a final rule could be years away. Mahaleris said the law wouldn't prohibit people from taking water breaks. "Access to drinking water and bathrooms, taking breaks in the shade — and there's also an education component that's important."

WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez explains how over-the-counter access could affect reproductive care across the U.S. Photo: Laura KammermannAs efforts to crack down on abortion increase around the U.S., contraceptives are bound to play an increasingly important role in family planning. But for many women, cost and access are still prohibitive factors. A cheaper, over-the-counter option could help close that gap while creating a sizable market for generic drugmaker Perrigo . Advisers to the Food and Drug Administration earlier this week recommended that Perrigo’s oral contraceptive, called Opill, be made available without prescription. If the recommendation is adopted by the FDA, it would help widen access to birth control around the country.

Obesity Could Be Pharma’s Biggest Blockbuster Yet

Some drugs initially approved to treat Type 2 diabetes are now being used for cosmetic weight loss. WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez explains how they work, their side effects, and concerns over unintended consequences. Illustration: Elizabeth SmelovAs social-media hype around drugs like Ozempic and Mounjaro explodes, patient testimonies have focused not only on the dramatic effect on their waistlines, but also on how quickly many seem to pack the pounds back on if they stop taking the injections. That may not be ideal for patients, but for Wall Street it is a feature rather than a bug. Nothing gets investors more hyped up than a product whose target market is massive—more than 40% of American adults are obese—and that also needs to be taken indefinitely.

WSJ’s Daniela Hernandez explains how they work, their side effects, and concerns over unintended consequences. Illustration: Elizabeth SmelovThe Danish pharmaceutical giant that makes the obesity drug Wegovy said it would temporarily hold back some lower-strength starter doses in the U.S. in an effort to safeguard supplies for current patients amid soaring demand. The Food and Drug Administration cleared Wegovy, made by Novo Nordisk , as a treatment for chronic weight management in 2021. It has since exploded in popularity.
