00:00Today we open a very important chapter in the history of Lilly in the area of cardio-metabolic diseases.
00:10Our commitment started more than 100 years ago with the commercialization of the first insulin in 1923.
00:16Today, however, it is a new season, an innovation that gives the possibility to patients affected by type 2 diabetes
00:23to have a new therapeutic opportunity, tirzepatide,
00:26which will be available at all pharmacies open to the public, under medical prescription
00:31of both the general medicine doctor and the specialists.
00:35The first of a new class of drugs, a double agonist GLP1-GIP,
00:39which acts not only on the control of glycated hemoglobin, but also on weight, with an enhanced effect.
00:46A product completely made in Italy.
00:49We are proud to produce it in our plant in Sesto Fiorentino,
00:54through an enlargement that has guaranteed an investment in Italy of about 1 billion euros.
01:00A product that is exported to more than 70 countries around the world.
01:03A product that is now available in all regions of Italy.
01:07The shelves from Sesto Fiorentino started, dressed with the Italian flag.
01:12So a double reason for pride for us as a company,
01:15but above all a great opportunity for patients and for the system as a whole.
