Novo Nordisk sues Eli Lilly over weight-loss drug ads, claiming misleading comparisons.

Novo Nordisk CEO Mike Doustdar defended the company's lawsuit against Eli Lilly, accusing Lilly of misleading advertising about their weight-loss drug efficacy. Novo argues that Lilly's ads compare Lilly's Zepbound to an older, lower-dose version of Novo's Wegovy, ignoring Novo's newer, more effective 7.2 mg Wegovy dose. The dispute highlights fierce competition in the GLP-1 weight-loss drug market, with Novo promoting its new Wegovy pill and Lilly defending its advertising as truthful. Market shares are shifting as both companies compete aggressively in this growing sector.
