Novo Nordisk alleged that Hims & Hers is putting patient safety at risk by selling compounded versions of Wegovy. Novo's ending of its deal with Hims & Hers jeopardizes the healthcare platform's goal to lead the weight loss market.

The drug is under distribution and will be in pharmacies by end of the month, said Vikrant Shrotriya, Novo Nordisk's India managing director. Wegovy will be launched in 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1.7 mg and 2.
