The Independent requests donations to fund on-the-ground reporters covering major issues and to keep reporting free from paywalls, relying on supporters to sustain reporting across the political spectrum. A surge in demand for the weight-loss drug Mounjaro has created national shortages at major UK pharmacies, including Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy and Superdrug. The demand spike followed Eli Lilly's announcement of a 170% price increase for the medication in the UK from September, raising the highest-dose monthly supply from £122 to £330. Social media-driven stockpiling continued despite warnings from Eli Lilly and the National Pharmacy Association, causing order delays and out-of-stock notices.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
A spike in sales of the weight-loss drug Mounjaro has led to a shortage at major pharmacies, including high street firms Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy and Superdrug. The surge in demand comes after Eli Lilly, which manufactures Mounjaro, announced it was to increase the price of the medication in the UK by 170 per cent from September. It means a month's supply of the highest dose of the drug will rise from 122 to 330.
