In context
“ot lost the 3 major products that are used in BCD in the United States are all line extensions. So the molecule was on the market before. And in some cases, the brand name was used before. So consumer awareness, which is the brand name and the molecule itself, which is the physician part, we're starting from a much lower baseline. We've got to build that, but we're hugely confident we'll be able to build it. We've launched many, many primary care drugs that are new successfully. . And then the final thing I'll say is that related to your inventory. I mean that really speaks to the international rollout. That's why we keep mentioning there's 40 different countries under review, and we expect that to happen also in one of the most accelerated cadences perhaps in the history of the industry. So expect launches as we exit this year into next year in quite scaled markets. And we know from what we're seeing on this call with Mounjaro and International, there's a huge opportunity for Foundayo around the world. Unknown Executive: Great. One last quick question, and then we'll go to the close. Operator: Final question today will be from Dave Risinger from Leerink. David Risinger: So Dave, I was hoping that you could just frame your vision for employer coverage in the United States. So in the U.S. Pharmaceutical business, employer coverage is most important for drugs, particularly drugs that treat various medical conditions beyond cosmetic and so I understand that you have the employer direct initiative, but I'm just trying to get my head around what you think will happen with regular employer insurance coverage in coming years versus coverage that will involve”
