Novo Nordisk AS (NVO) said Tuesday that the U.S. Food and
Administration has approved its Ozempic semaglutide injection which
helps treat adults with type 2 diabetes.
The Danish pharmaceutical said the approval for Ozempic was
based on results from a clinical trial program and follows a
positive recommendation from the FDA's advisory committee in
October.
Ozempic was approved for use in two dosages of 0.5 milligrams
and 1 milligram and will be launched as a pre-filled pen device,
the company said.
Novo Nordisk added that it will use part of the approved
requirements for the drug to conduct a trial on adolescents under
18 years old.
