The UK's drug cost-effectiveness watchdog, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), has formally recommended Eli Lilly and Company's GLP-1 drug Tirzepatide as a weight loss medication. The drug is sold under the names Zepbound for weight loss and Moujaro for treating type 2 diabetes. Due to anticipated high demand, NICE had earlier stated in December that Tirzepatide would be rolled out over a three-year period, with the "highest clinical need" patients being given priority for the drug.
