Deep News01-30

According to data shared by an analyst on Friday, prescriptions for Novo Nordisk's oral semaglutide tablets exceeded 26,000 in the United States during the drug's second full week on the market. Investors are closely monitoring prescription figures to gauge whether the Danish pharmaceutical giant can maintain its first-mover advantage against competitor Eli Lilly LLY.N in the fiercely competitive weight-loss market. Analysts from Barclays wrote in a report that weekly prescriptions for the semaglutide tablets reached 26,109 for the period ending January 23, indicating a very robust launch momentum for the oral medication. The drug recorded 3,071 U.S. prescriptions in its first four days following the January 5 launch, and reached over 18,000 prescriptions in the week ending January 16.
