Hims and Novo Nordisk: Compounded Oral Semaglutide Launch Challenges Legal Framework
Hims & Hers has launched a compounded oral semaglutide treatment plan at a significantly lower price, directly competing with Novo Nordisk’s recently launched Wegovy pill. This move could complicate Novo Nordisk's market trajectory and its efforts to maximize sales before a potential rival drug from Eli Lilly. Analysts expect Hims' launch to trigger legal action from Novo Nordisk and regulatory scrutiny, given that oral semaglutide has not been on a shortage list, raising questions about the legality of the compounded drug.
