Leerink reported a rebound in U.S. prescription trends for the week ended June 5, 2025, with the overall pharmaceutical market growing 10% week-over-week after an 8% decline during the Memorial Day period.
Eli Lilly's tirzepatide franchise (Mounjaro/Zepbound) posted prescription growth of 46% year-over-year over one week, 51% over four weeks, and 57% over 12 weeks. Novo Nordisk's semaglutide products (Ozempic/Wegovy) recorded growth of 22%, 21%, and 18%, respectively. Wegovy prescriptions rose 10% week-over-week, while Zepbound increased 9%.
Foundayo generated roughly 20,000 prescriptions in its ninth week on the market, up 17% sequentially but still well below oral Wegovy's approximately 81,000 prescriptions during its ninth week. Oral Wegovy reached around 159,000 prescriptions in its 22nd launch week, although Leerink noted IQVIA data likely understates demand by excluding certain direct-to-consumer channels.
