    FDA Considers Novo Nordisk's Oral Wegovy for Weight Loss

    (Reuters) -The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has accepted Novo Nordisk's marketing application for an oral version of its weight-loss drug Wegovy and will take a decision by the fourth quarter, the Danish drugmaker said on Friday.

    Novo Nordisk's oral GLP-1 drug Rybelsus, which also has the same active ingredient semaglutide, is already approved for blood sugar control in adults with diabetes.
