China Regulator Accepts Novo Nordisk Oral Wegovy Application
Novo Nordisk says it has filed a Chinese marketing application for its once-daily oral Wegovy pill, while declining to name any approval timeline. The company said weight-loss tablets could draw patients who prefer not to use injections. Lilly moved first and won U.S. approval for its oral orforglipron, and sales of GLP-1 weight-management therapies could grow substantially.
