Novo Nordisk Stock Gets Wegovy Pill Boost as Eli Lilly’s Foundayo Starts Slow
Novo Nordisk A/S’s Wegovy pill stayed ahead in the early going, with 18,410 U.S. prescriptions at the same stage of launch where Eli Lilly’s Foundayo managed 3,707 in its second week, according to analysts referencing IQVIA data. RBC Capital Markets analyst Trung Huynh flagged that it’s early days and comparisons can be tricky, but noted that Foundayo’s latest numbers are likely to be viewed as a disappointment.
