Novo Nordisk won approval to sell a pill version of its blockbuster obesity shot Wegovy in the US, a crucial step in its effort to defend its market share from rival Eli Lilly & Co. Novo will start selling the pill in the US in early January, the company said in a statement Monday. It is approved to help people lose weight or maintain previous weight loss over the long term.
