flag Ireland's healthcare system can't afford Mounjaro at current prices, needing a 73% cut to be viable.

flag A new study finds Ireland's public healthcare system cannot afford the weight-loss drug Mounjaro at its current price, which ranges from €5,526 to €6,214 annually per patient. flag The National Centre for Pharmacoeconomics recommends a 73% price cut for the 5 mg dose to make it cost-effective, warning the five-year budget impact could reach €5.2 billion. flag Mounjaro, more effective and easier to use than the currently available Saxenda, is only accessible to private patients at €140–€280 monthly. flag Public funding remains limited due to affordability concerns, with experts noting that even 30–40% price reductions may not resolve long-term sustainability issues.
