This Pharma's Sales Are So Hot It's Trying to Curb Demand

This Pharma's Sales Are So Hot It's Trying to Curb Demand

Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO) is planning to pause some of its advertising campaigns for its obesity drug Wegovy, due to white-hot demand in the U.S. The impact of the move isn't the marketing costs it saves, but the unambiguous message it sends: Wegovy is probably going to bring in even more sales than management expected -- and it had expected quite a bit. This isn't the first time that demand for Wegovy has been greater than what the pharma can manufacture, and it's no surprise why.
