“The Wegovy ® product portfolio remains a key growth driver for Novo Nordisk in 2026, led by the continued rapid adoption of Wegovy ® pill in the US, which has reached more than 5 million prescriptions since its launch, alongside encouraging early uptake in markets outside the US and the rollout of Wegovy ® HD (7.2 mg). The increased US GLP-1 momentum, combined with continued growth and new launches in International Operations, has led us to further raise our 2026 guidance for both adjusted sales and adjusted operating profit,” said Mike Doustdar, president and CEO of Novo Nordisk.
