    Once Monthly GLP-1 Injection? Pfizer Drops New Data

    Send a text This week on On The Pen: The Weekly Dose, we break down Pfizer’s $10 billion bet on obesity medicine and whether it’s shaping up to be a smart move or a costly miss. We dig into newly released Phase 2b data from Pfizer’s once-monthly GLP-1 candidate (formerly Metsera’s asset), what the results actually show, and how it stacks up in an increasingly crowded field that includes Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, and next-gen combination therapies. We also talk strategy, maintenance dosing, combination GLP-1 + amylin approaches, pricing pressures, cash-pay access, and what this all means for patients navigating a rapidly changing obesity treatment landscape. Plus, earnings week insights, where Pfizer may be headed next, and why pricing and access, not just weight-loss percentages, may end up being the real disruptors.

  6. Over The Counter GLP-1 Prediction

    Over The Counter GLP-1 Prediction

    Send us a text In this episode of On The Pen: The Weekly Dose, Dave Knapp breaks down why the idea of over-the-counter GLP-1 medications isn’t radical speculation, it’s a pattern already in motion. Drawing on FDA signals, past regulatory precedent with Orlistat, recent pricing negotiations, softened safety language, and public comments from pharmaceutical executives, Dave lays out the case that low-dose oral GLP-1s could be the first step toward OTC access. This episode connects the dots between regulation, access, pricing, and normalization of obesity treatment, and explains why the people laughing today may be asking how they missed it tomorrow. 🤝 Visit Our Sponsors!
