Plainsboro, NJ, US and Bagsværd, Denmark, February 9, 2026 – Novo Nordisk announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against telehealth company Hims & Hers (“Hims”), for infringing US Patent 8,129,343 with Hims’ compounded semaglutide products for the US market. Hims has engaged in promotional campaigns that highlight its compounded semaglutide products, duping consumers and healthcare professionals as to the clinical benefits and safety of these unapproved drugs. This includes Hims’ recent launch, and two days later, abrupt discontinuance of its “Compounded GLP-1 Pill,” which came on the heels of Novo Nordisk’s introduction of the Wegovy® pill, the first and only FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss. Hims continues to unlawfully mass compound injectable versions, made with inauthentic API, and these knock-offs are putting patient health and wellbeing at risk.
