Novo Nordisk develops and manufactures medicines for diabetes and obesity, including Ozempic and Wegovy (semaglutide). Its GLP-1 business includes injectable and oral formulations. This profile follows its product launches, commercial expansion and financial updates as it competes for patients and market share.
Novo Nordisk says its experimental CagriSema injection produced more weight loss than a tested dose of Lilly’s tirzepatide in adults with type 2 diabetes. The comparison does not cover every available dose.
Fierce Pharma reported record weekly prescriptions for Novo’s Wegovy pill and Lilly’s Foundayo. The figures track prescriptions, including refills, rather than new patients or comparative treatment results.
Novo Nordisk has launched the daily tablet version of Wegovy in Germany, Reuters reported. The launch brings the weight-management medicine to its first European Union market in pill form.
Novo Nordisk now expects a smaller decline in annual sales, citing improved expectations for diabetes and weight-loss medicines. The revised forecast still ranges from a 6% fall to no growth.
