GLP-1 agonists have taken the pharma world by storm, and Novo Nordisk has been at the forefront of it all with its blockbuster drug semaglutide, which it sells as Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus. Semaglutide and other GLP-1s have gained widespread popularity as treatments for Type 2 diabetes and obesity, and it doesn’t stop there—they’re currently being tested in a wide variety of additional therapeutic areas and in new dosages and forms.
