Wegovy sales double, as starting restrictions start to lift

Novo Nordisk’s breakneck sales growth has continued in the first quarter of this year with a 24% increase that was helped by a doubling in turnover of obesity blockbuster Wegovy.

Group revenues came in at DKK 65.3 billion ($9.3 billion) – ahead of analyst expectations – with GLP-1 agonist Wegovy (semaglutide) contributing DKK 9.4 billion of the total.
