Novo Nordisk Sues Eli Lilly Over Alleged False Advertising of Weight-Loss Drugs
Novo Nordisk has filed a lawsuit against Eli Lilly in U.S. federal court, accusing the company of false advertising related to their weight-loss drugs. Novo alleges that Lilly's advertisements misleadingly compare higher doses of Lilly's medicines with lower doses of Novo's, omitting newer, higher-dose versions of Novo's drugs that reportedly deliver greater weight loss. Novo seeks a court order to withdraw the ads, corrective advertising, and damages. Lilly has not publicly responded to the lawsuit.
