Novo Nordisk says it filed lawsuits against multiple medical spas, weight loss clinics and compounding pharmacies for allegedly selling unauthorized versions of the drugmaker's popular medicines Ozempic and Wegovy.

The company has initiated five lawsuits, which were submitted in federal courts in New York, Texas, Florida and Tennessee, said Novo Nordisk spokesperson Allison Schneider.
