Novo Nordisk Seeks Injunction Against Eli Lilly Ads; Lilly Advances Weight-Loss Drug Approval
Novo Nordisk has filed a lawsuit seeking a preliminary injunction to block Eli Lilly's advertisements for its obesity and diabetes drugs, alleging misleading comparisons that omit newer, higher-dose versions of Novo's products. Eli Lilly denies wrongdoing and defends its advertising. Meanwhile, Lilly announced that its next-generation weight-loss drug retatrutide showed no increased heart risk in recent studies and plans to seek FDA approval early next year, aiming to maintain its lead in the competitive obesity drug market.
