Eli Lilly's new weight-loss drug, an injection called incretin, has been shown to be more effective in melting off pounds than its pill counterpart. While pills may be more convenient and cheaper, injections are the better option for those looking to lose weight.
Novo Nordisk plans to ask the FDA to approve high-dose oral versions of the medication in the weight-loss drug Wegovy, which may work as well as the popular injections when it comes to paring pounds and improving health, according to final results of two studies.

The pills aren't necessarily a better option for the hundreds of thousands of people already taking injectable versions such as Ozempic or Wegovy.

The Joint Fentanyl Impact Team seized around 25 thousand fake oxycodone pills suspected of containing fentanyl in Wichita, Kansas.

Novo Nordisk and Pfizer have released data showing that pills from the same class as Novo's weight loss drugs are as effective as injected medicines. Novo Nordisk's semaglutide pill helped overweight or obese adults lose weight comparable to what is seen with injected Wegovy, while Pfizer's oral compound resulted in weight loss similar to that of Novo's injected Ozempic. The enormous demand for weight-loss treatments could support up to 10 competing products with annual sales reaching up to $100 billion within a decade. Novo Nordisk expects to file for U.S. and European approval of the daily tablet this year, contingent on portfolio prioritizations and manufacturing capacity.
