My understanding is that they're almost completely separate customer bases right now. Ozempic is (generally) only approved by insurance when used as a diabetic drug and off insurance, it's in the $1000/month range.

Weightloss folks are shit out of luck for insurance coverage, and so they go to compounding pharmacies and pay in the $200/month range. Forcing them to ~5 times the price will have a lot of folks unable or unwilling to do so and demand will drop.
