Mike Hollan The medical side of the market is growing while the commercial side seems to be struggling. A new study reveals just how strong of a year 2023 was for the weight loss drug industry. Anti-obesity medications (AOMs) have seen a surge in popularity over the past year. This is due to a variety of factors, including the increase in demand for drugs like Wegovy and Ozempic. The two drugs became so popular in 2023 that Wegovy’s developer Novo Nordisk had to temporarily limit the supply of lower, beginner doses of the medication. While it’s clear that AOMs had a good year in 2023, a new report details the heights of that success. According to a study conducted Marketdata LLC and published in Research and Markets, the weight loss market in 2023 rose to a historic peak. In a press release,1 Research and Markets explains that the boom in ...
Don Tracy, Associate Editor First of its kind study reported major improvements in skin clarity and itch relief in over two-thirds of participants. New trial data show that 68% of participants with skin of color suffering from moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who were administered Eli Lilly’s lebrikizumab experienced at least a 75% reduction in disease severity, including skin clearance and itch relief. The study notes that people with skin of color have faced a lack of representation in previous clinical trials and are more likely to experience severe symptoms of atopic dermatitis and face delays in diagnosis and treatment.1 “People with skin of color are disproportionately affected by atopic dermatitis, often experiencing more severe symptoms, a delay in diagnosis and a lengthier timeframe to find appropriate treatment. They also have been historically underrepresented in clinical trials, which means we have lacked data pertaining to the treatment of patients with skin of ...

The NHS has announced it is targeting young adults to catch up on their missed measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines as part of the NHS catch-up campaign. In England, more than 900,000 adults aged 19 to 25 years will be invited to book an appointment for their missed vaccine. Following on from the national health service’s recent reminder for 200,000 16- to 19-year-olds to receive the MMR vaccine, the NHS campaign will target young adults in areas more at risk: the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and London. MMR are highly infectious illnesses that can lead to blindness, deafness and swelling of the brain. Currently one of the most infectious diseases globally, with no medical treatment available, one adult or child infected with measles can pass the disease on to around 15 other unvaccinated individuals. According to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), between October 2023 and March 2024, approximately ...
A Queens-based drugmaker wants to rent another drugmaker’s Westbury office and warehouse, officials said. Epic Pharma LLC, a manufacturer of generic drugs, would lease 609-2 Cantiague Rock Rd. from the building’s owner, P&L Development LLC, which also produces generic drugs. Epic would occupy “essentially all of the space” in the 105,000-square-foot facility for “warehouse and distribution operations,” along with offices, said P&L president Evan Singer. An Epic executive didn’t respond to requests for comment last week and on Monday. P&L used the Cantiague Rock Road building as a corporate office and warehouse through last December. But the family-owned business no longer needs the space because some of its 575 employees in Nassau County work remotely at least part of the week. “P&L offers employees a hybrid working environment, which lessens the need for such a large corporate office,” Singer said, adding the company has consolidated its operations into other buildings ...
