The FDA has approved Eli Lilly's once-daily weight-loss pill, Foundayo, increasing competition in the obesity drug market dominated by Novo Nordisk. Despite this, Novo Nordisk's shares rose 2.6%, indicating investors had anticipated the challenge. Foundayo offers convenience without food or water restrictions but shows slightly less weight loss in trials compared to Novo Nordisk's oral and injectable treatments. This approval marks a shift towards oral obesity treatments, intensifying the rivalry between the two pharmaceutical giants.
