Novo Nordisk A/S has initiated a lawsuit against a compound pharmacy for allegedly falsely marketing its weight-loss products as comparable to its own Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus. Despite this legal challenge, the company has seen a 14.5% surge in its shares since the start of the year, driven by strong demand for its Wegovy weight-loss pill, which received over 18,000 prescriptions in its first week. Looking ahead, Novo Nordisk projects full-year revenue growth of 8% to 11%, even as it plans to cut 9,000 jobs to enhance operational efficiency.

“Novo Nordisk A/S can move forward with a lawsuit against a compound pharmacy that allegedly falsely advertised its weight-loss products as equivalent to generic versions of Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus, a federal judge said.”
