On July 1, 2025, a report indicated that Novo Nordisk A/S’ executives allegedly ignored internal warnings that the company was unprepared to launch its obesity drug Wegovy. This suggests potential missteps in the initial commercialization strategy.
The report raises questions about the company's internal decision-making processes and risk management. Ignoring such warnings could have contributed to the supply constraints experienced during Wegovy's early market penetration.
This information comes as rival Eli Lilly and Co.’s Zepbound gains momentum, intensifying competition in the weight-loss drug market. The report highlights the importance of robust launch planning and internal communication for blockbuster products.
