Novo Nordisk said on Tuesday it was partnering with telehealth firms Hims & Hers, Ro and LifeMD to sell branded versions of Wegovy, ahead of potential restrictions on selling compounded versions of the obesity drug.

Novo Nordisk A/S said it would sell its popular weight-loss drug Wegovy for a steeply reduced price on several telehealth platforms. The strategy comes as rival Eli Lilly & Co. is working with telehealth firms to distribute lower-cost vials of its own obesity medication,
