Novo Nordisk announced that the US Food and Drug Administration has approved the Wegovy pill, a once-daily oral semaglutide 25 mg, for long-term weight reduction and maintenance, as well as for reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.

The oral formulation is indicated for adults with obesity or overweight who have at least one weight-related comorbidity, and for adults with established heart disease to lower the risk of death, heart attack, or stroke.

In addition, Wegovy injection is approved for chronic weight management in paediatric patients aged 12 years and older.

The injectable form is also approved for the treatment of MASH in adults with moderate to advanced liver fibrosis, excluding those with cirrhosis.
