On the business front, CVS Caremark, the company's pharmacy benefit management division, announced it will restore coverage of Eli Lilly's weight-loss injection Zepbound as a preferred option in its commercial formularies starting October 1. The unit will also add Lilly's new daily oral weight-loss drug Foundayo. The company stated these moves resulted from successful negotiations with manufacturers to lower costs, aiming to provide broader GLP-1 drug access for plan members. Market participants expect the expanded formulary to enhance CVS Caremark's competitive positioning in the pharmacy benefit management space.
