By Christy Santhosh (Reuters) -Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk said on Tuesday it has filed 14 new lawsuits in the United States against the sale of unapproved versions of semaglutide, the active ingredient in its popular weight-loss and diabetes drugs,

Novo took the active ingredient of Ozempic, semaglutide, and rebranded it as Wegovy to be used specifically for weight loss. Together, these blockbuster drugs made Novo the most valuable publicly listed company in Europe. At one point, its market capitalization was even bigger than the size of Denmark’s economy.

Novo Nordisk, the Danish maker of the wildly popular Ozempic and Wegovy drugs used for weight loss, was downgraded due to competition from compounding as well as arch rival Eli Lilly, a brokerage said on Tuesday.
