Ozempic Shortage Crisis - Germany Weighs Export Restrictions on Novo Nordisk's Drug
Portfolio Pulse from Vandana Singh
Germany's BfArM is considering export restrictions on Novo Nordisk's Ozempic due to shortages. The drug, used for diabetes and weight loss, is in short supply, leading to temporary suspensions in Britain and Belgium. Export bans are in place in several EU countries, and BfArM urges prescribing GLP-1 receptor agonists only for diabetes. Novo Nordisk's stock (NVO) fell 0.96% in premarket trading.
