The Wegovy pill, a GLP-1 weight-loss medication by Novo Nordisk, has surpassed 3 million prescriptions in the US since its launch on January 5, 2026. This equates to one prescription filled every five seconds, marking it as one of the most successful drug launches ever. The pill's lower cost compared to the Wegovy injection and Lilly's Foundayo tablet contributes to its popularity. This strong demand highlights ongoing interest in effective weight-loss therapies in the US market.
