The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions is investigating Novo Nordisk’s pricing strategies, particularly for its diabetes and obesity medications, Ozempic and Wegovy. Senator Bernie Sanders has requested internal communications from Novo Nordisk regarding pricing discrepancies between the U.S. and other countries. The committee is also questioning why Wegovy, which contains the same compound as Ozempic, has a higher price tag. The investigation is part of a broader inquiry into industry-wide pricing practices in the pharmaceutical industry, with Senator Sanders planning to scrutinize Eli Lilly And Co as well.
