Hims & Hers Health Inc. reported a first-quarter loss and sales that missed Wall Street estimates as it faces higher costs associated with its strategic pivot to branded weight-loss medications.

The Hers app arranged on a smartphone in New York, US, on Wednesday, Feb. 12, 2025. A Super Bowl ad touting Hims & Hers Health Inc.'s copycat weight-loss drugs is getting pushback from the branded drugmakers' lobbying group, which says it's "misleading" and potentially violates marketing rules.

Novo Says It’s Suing Hims to Halt Obesity Drug Copycats 

09. Februar 2026 um 22:12
Bloomberg News Health Reporter Madison Muller reports on the latest on Novo's lawsuit. - Novo Nordisk said it’s suing Hims & Hers Health Inc. for making knock-offs of its obesity medicines, even as Hims scrapped plans to sell a copycat version of the Wegovy pill. Hims is breaching the US patent on semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo’s blockbuster obesity treatments, Novo argued Monday. The US lawsuit attacks not only Hims’ new strategy to launch a copycat pill but also goes after shots that mimic Wegovy and its sister drug Ozempic. The move marks a more aggressive approach for Novo under Chief Executive Officer Mike Doustdar. Until now, the drugmaker’s legal strategy focused on the way that companies like Hims market their products. Novo said this is the first time it has sued over patent infringement for compounded semaglutide. (Source: Bloomberg)
