Myalept
Myalept is a synthetic version of leptin, a hormone essential to regulating our metabolism and the storage of fat in our cells. It’s taken as an injection and is approved to treat leptin deficiency in people with certain forms of lipodystrophy—conditions where the body is unable to properly store fat.
Myalept currently costs $77,496 a month and around $929,951 a year. It’s notable for being one of the most expensive drugs that can be filled at standard pharmacies, as opposed to being dispensed or administered at a doctor’s office.
