Novo Nordisk's Wegovy Supply Delays: FDA Uncovers Catalent Factory Lapses Violating Safety Regulations
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
The FDA has found persistent violations of U.S. sterile-safety regulations at the Catalent Inc factory that fills the self-injection pens for Novo Nordisk's weight-loss medication Wegovy. Despite the violations, the FDA allowed the facility to continue operating as they did not deem them public safety risks. However, these issues have caused delays in Wegovy shipments throughout 2022. Novo has faced criticism from investors over its choice of Catalent as a manufacturing partner.
