Trending: Novo Nordisk Faces Senate Over Ozempic, Wegovy Pricing

15:02 ET -- Novo Nordisk is one of the most mentioned companies in the U.S. across all news items in the past 12 hours, according to Factiva data. The Danish drugmaker's CEO Lars Jorgensen challenged Medicare's negotiating of prescription drug prices during testimony before a Senate committee. Jorgensen defended the pricing of his company's diabetes and weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy, which he said are set during negotiations with insurers and pharmacy-benefit managers. Ozempic is likely eligible to be included in next year's price negotiations between Medicare and drugmakers, said Novo Nordisk in written testimony. Dow Jones & Co. owns Factiva.
