Novo Nordisk has filed a federal lawsuit against Eli Lilly, accusing the company of misleading advertising for its GLP-1 drugs Zepbound and Mounjaro. Novo claims Lilly's ads use outdated data and unfairly compare Lilly's highest drug doses to lower doses of Novo's treatments, excluding newer data from higher-dose Wegovy versions. The lawsuit seeks to stop the ads, require corrections, and obtain damages. Eli Lilly defends its ads, citing direct clinical trial evidence, and vows to fight the lawsuit. This legal battle highlights intense competition in the weight-loss and diabetes drug market.
