Novo Nordisk AS (NYSE:<\/a>NVO<\/a>) and Hims & Hers Health Inc. (NYSE:<\/a>HIMS<\/a>) have reportedly ended their public feud<\/a>, with the drugmaker deciding to sell its weight-loss drug on the telehealth platform.<\/p>\n

The announcement regarding the new partnership is expected as soon as Monday, Bloomberg reported<\/a> on Friday, citing a person familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

Last month, Novo Nordisk sued Hims & Hers after the latter began marketing a compounded version of its new weight-loss pill. The company alleged patent violations, citing the ingredient used in Wegovy.<\/p>\n

In 2025, Novo Nordisk and Hims & Hers also announced a partnership, but the drugmaker ended the agreement abruptly after the platform declined to stop promoting the compounded versions of the drugs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always in conversation with companies that can help improve patient access to FDA-approved medicines for people living with chronic diseases. These talks happen on an ongoing basis, and we will discuss if\/when we have final details to share,\u201d a Novo Nordisk spokesperson told Benzinga in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n

Hims & Hers did not immediately respond to Benzinga<\/a>‘s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Weight-Loss Drug Market Pressure Builds<\/p>\n

The competition has grown due to the recent supply shortages. However, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has indicated plans to increase scrutiny of copycat weight-loss drugs.<\/p>\n
