South Africa's High Court granted Novo Nordisk an interim interdict blocking a local pharmacy group from manufacturing and selling compounded semaglutide weight-loss medicines. The ruling underscores tightening scrutiny of unregistered drugs and is modestly favorable for Novo Nordisk's protection of its GLP-1 franchise. Market impact is likely limited to the company and local compounding players rather than the broader market.
