The approval for the drug branded Kisunla is in line with the recommendations of the agency’s outside experts who unanimously backed the use of the drug in patients with early Alzheimer’s disease, saying that the benefits of the drug outweighed its risks.

Lilly has priced Kisunla at $695.65 per vial, which would be $32,000 for a 12-month treatment.
