Eli Lil­ly plans to make tirzepatide next big thing as phar­ma ex­pe­ri­ences 'un­prece­dent­ed' de­mand for the drug

Eli Lil­ly has been push­ing for­ward on its plans to ex­pand tirzepatide in­to a megablock­buster, and while the Big Phar­ma is tout­ing an in­crease in sales com­pared to pre­vi­ous quar­ters, it is trim­ming down its year-end guid­ance.

The Big Phar­ma re­port­ed $6.94 bil­lion in Q3 rev­enue, bet­ter than ex­pect­ed com­pared to the $6.49 bil­lion re­port­ed last quar­ter and the $6.7 bil­lion Lil­ly re­port­ed in Q3 last year. Part of that is thanks to high­er than ex­pect­ed sales of Moun­jaro (tirzepatide), Lil­ly’s type 2 di­a­betes drug that was just ap­proved by the FDA ear­li­er this year.
