Pharmaceutical companies have raised prices for hundreds of medications in 2024,
new research shows.



46Brooklyn Research, a nonprofit drug-pricing analytics group, recently released
data that showed some drugmakers had raised the prices of their medications
already this year, including popular drugs Ozempic and Mounjara, with some
increases at 9% or higher.



Companies including Novo Nordisk — which produces Ozempic, a drug designed to
help diabetics regulate their blood sugar that has also been found to be
effective for weight loss — and Eli Lilly, which sells the similar drug
Mounjaro, were on the list.



Per the data, the price of Ozempic rose 3.5% to $968.52 for a month's supply,
while Mounjaro increased by 4.5% to about $960 for a month's worth of the
medication.

Stars Who've Spoken About Ozempic — and What They've Said


Other drugs that had seen price increases include the autoimmune disease
medication Enbrel, the pain medication Oxycontin, the blood thinner Plavix and
the antidepressant Wellbutrin.



Enbrel, the data said, rose in cost by 5%, while Oxycontin increased by 9%,
Plavix by 4.7% and Wellbutrin by 9.9%, the data adds.



46Brooklyn's data does not fully reflect what a consumer pays for a drug,
however, as its analysis is based on the price that drugmakers charge to those
who distribute the drugs to pharmacies, the company said.



Consumers can sometimes pay less due to factors such as insurance coverage or
other discounts like rebates.

46Brooklyn also highlighted around two dozen medications that dropped in price
at the start of the new year.



According to the nonprofit's data, the erectile dysfunction drug Cialis (19%
less) and the antidepressant Prozac (18.1% and 23.5% less depending on the
drugmaker) declined, as did the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease medication
Advair, which declined in price by 22.5% or 60%, depending on the formulation.
