Novo Nordisk plans to launch its weight-loss drug Wegovy in more countries, despite shortages caused by high demand, according to CEO Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen.
The Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, known for its weight loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, is driving most of Denmark's recent economic growth and has become the second most valuable public company in Europe.
Novo Nordisk has launched its weight-loss injection, Wegovy, in the UK, following a controlled and limited launch, with a monthly supply priced between £199 and £299 for private patients through an online pharmacy chain.
The Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk is driving the country's economic growth, with its profits and production of anti-obesity drugs contributing significantly to the GDP and employment rates.
Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk's shares fell after a split aimed at increasing liquidity, but analysts remain optimistic about the company's leadership in the obesity drug market.
Ypsomed has announced a long-term supply deal with Novo Nordisk for autoinjectors, indicating the success of Novo Nordisk's weight-loss drug business and the potential for growth in the obesity market.
Anti-obesity drugs developed by Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly have the potential to transform public health but could also disrupt industries such as food, fitness, and healthcare, affecting companies like Nestlé and McDonald's.
