Summary
Mike Doustdar said Novo Nordisk’s obesity franchise could expand beyond weight loss into two adjacent fields — longevity research and aesthetic medicine.
At the American Diabetes Association conference in New Orleans, Doustdar said the push reflects patient demand, adding that the company must stay “obsessed” with what patients want.
The comments suggest Novo is looking to widen the commercial and clinical reach of its blockbuster obesity drugs as competition intensifies across the fast-growing market.
