Novo Nordisk to sue over Hims & Hers Wegovy copy

Novo Nordisk said it will take legal and regulatory action against telehealth provider Hims & Hers after it unveiled a cheaper copycat Wegovy. Hims plans an oral semaglutide pill priced at $49 for the first month and $99 thereafter under a 5-month plan, triggering about 7% declines in Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly shares; Novo argues the product is illegal mass compounding that risks patient safety, while Hims says its copy uses a different formulation. Wegovy’s SNAC absorption technology is a key point of contrast, and Lilly is preparing its own oral GLP-1, orforglipron, pending FDA approval.

Medical associations sue to block CDC’s updated childhood vaccine schedule

They seek to restore the schedule to its 2025 level and halt ACIP meetings, accusing Kennedy‑appointed advisers of bias; HHS says the ACIP process is lawful and vaccines will still be covered by insurers. The suit is part of a broader challenge to COVID-19 vaccine guidance and reflects ongoing tensions over vaccine policy.
