Shares of LifeMD rose after the telehealth company said it is offering Eli Lilly's GLP-1 obesity pill, Foundayo, through its weight management program.

Shares were up 12% to $4.59 on Monday. The stock is up 35% this year.

LifeMD said eligible patients in its weight management program could receive Foundayo through the company's integration with LillyDirect, Eli Lilly's direct-to-consumer platform. Initial dosages begin at $149 a month.

"By working with LillyDirect, we are able to offer eligible patients streamlined access to this therapy at an accessible price point," Chief Executive Justin Schreiber said. "LifeMD remains dedicated to expanding access to high-quality, affordable weight management care, and the addition of Foundayo to our platform furthers that commitment."

LifeMD offers GLP-1 treatments from both Lilly and Novo Nordisk, the company said.
