Pfizer said Saturday that its experimental monthly obesity drug, acquired through last year's Metsera purchase, showed a side-effect profile similar to Novo Nordisk's weekly Wegovy. The update is an early competitive signal in the obesity-drug market, but it does not include efficacy, approval, or commercialization data. The readout is likely to matter more for long-term pipeline positioning than near-term trading.
