The article from Fortune, published on March 7, 2025, discusses the impact of tariffs on the prices of generic versions of popular weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. It highlights how new tariffs imposed by the U.S. government on imported pharmaceuticals are causing a significant increase in the cost of these generic drugs. The article explains that these tariffs, intended to protect domestic pharmaceutical production, are instead making it more difficult for patients to afford necessary medications. It also notes that pharmaceutical companies are facing challenges in maintaining affordable prices for these generics due to the added costs from tariffs, potentially leading to reduced access to these critical treatments for many Americans.
