š§ What the FDA Has Said
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has publicly stated that a television advertisement for Novo Nordiskās weight-loss drug Wegovy included claims that were āfalse or misleadingā under federal regulatory standards for prescription drug promotion. The agencyās comments signal that it believes the ad did not present a balanced and truthful depiction of the drugās effectiveness or risks.

FDA rules require companies to represent both the benefits and limitations (including risks) of prescription medicines accurately in consumer-facing materials. Ads that omit significant risk information or otherwise overstate effectiveness can be considered misleading and in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

The criticism of the Wegovy ad fits into a larger U.S. crackdown on how weight-loss drugs and similar therapies are marketed, particularly as demand for GLP-1ābased obesity treatments ā like Wegovy ā has surged. The FDA has indicated it will enforce compliance more aggressively on advertisements and on the sale of unapproved or misleading copycat products, especially from tlehealth companies and compounders.
