flag The U.S. FDA approved Novo Nordisk’s oral version of Wegovy, the first GLP-1 weight-loss pill in the U.S., marking a major milestone in obesity treatment. flag The once-daily tablet, starting at $149 per month, is set for launch in early January 2026 and aims to help adults with obesity or overweight and related conditions lose weight and reduce cardiovascular risks. flag The approval gives Novo Nordisk a first-mover advantage over rival Eli Lilly, whose oral drug orforglipron is expected by 2026. flag The company has expanded production and secured agreements to improve access through Medicare, Medicaid, and the TrumpRx program. flag Shares rose 7% to 10% in European and U.S. trading, though the stock remains down over 45% this year amid supply issues and competition. flag Analysts project the pill could capture a significant share of the growing weight-loss market, but long-term effectiveness and patient uptake remain to be seen.
