The U.S. FDA approved Eli Lilly's oral weight-loss pill, making it the second oral GLP-1 class product to reach market after Novo Nordisk's oral Wegovy. The approval places Lilly in direct competition with Novo, with pill convenience likely to accelerate patient adoption versus injectables. Expect near-term revenue and market-share implications for both companies and increased sector attention on obesity drug uptake.
