No­vo Nordisk plots com­mer­cial re­launch for We­govy as sup­plies are ex­pect­ed to re­turn

Af­ter tap­ping Queen Lat­i­fah for an un­brand­ed cam­paign to help change the nar­ra­tive around weight loss last year, No­vo Nordisk’s di­rect-to-con­sumer plans for its new obe­si­ty med We­govy didn’t go quite as planned. Now, the com­pa­ny is plan­ning a com­mer­cial re­launch.

No­vo halt­ed We­govy pro­mo­tions back in March as the com­pa­ny grap­pled with sup­ply is­sues. The com­pa­ny said on its Q3 call on Wednes­day that all dose strengths should fi­nal­ly be avail­able by the end of this year — and with that, a “broad com­mer­cial re-launch is ex­pect­ed to com­mence next year,” a spokesper­son told End­points News via email.
