Hims & Hers is now offering discounted access to Wegovy, a GLP-1 manufactured by Novo Nordisk, on its platform.
A federal court judge ruling leaves in place an FDA determination that shortages of the Novo Nordisk drugs Wegovy and Ozempic are resolved. Consequently, compounding pharmacies must stop making their versions of the metabolic medicines or face FDA enforcement action.

A new KFF analysis compared list prices for Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus and Mounjaro. It found that the U.S. has much higher list prices for these drugs than other peer countries while also having the highest rate of obesity.
Novo Nordisk weight-loss drug Wegovy reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events by 20% in a large clinical trial. The company said the results support expanding the drug’s label, but the looming question is whether the data will persuade payers to cover the pricey chronic therapy.
