Risk of patient overlap between Wegovy and Saxenda obesity drugs,...
March 9 (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk's new chief executive is looking at making acquisitions to broaden the Danish drugmaker's product line-up, in a change of tack that reflects a need for fresh sources of growth at the world's biggest diabetes company.
Phentermine, which was also part of the cocktail, was not withdrawn and has subsequently been re-constituted as part of a weight-loss pill sold, relatively unsuccessfully, by Vivus Inc . The drug, Qsymia, had sales of just $23.7 million in 2013.

The threshold for pediatric obesity is a body mass index (BMI) - a ratio of weight to height - above the 95th percentile for children of the same age and gender.
Severe obesity is defined as a BMI 20% higher than the 95th percentile cutoff.
The new midriff-revealing post comes in the wake of people who have called out the reality star for using the diabetes drug Ozempic to helped her shed the pounds.
The top 20 was rounded out by the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 V7, which scored 55 per cent, the Reebok All Terrain Super 3.0, which also scored 55 per cent, and the Adidas Mana Bounce 2 M Aramis, which scored just 40 per cent in grip and sole endurance.
While he believes Novo's existing drug line-up remains strong, in these tougher times the Danish group may increasingly operate like other big drugmakers that routinely make acquisitions to boost growth as key medicines lose momentum.
Jorgensen declined to comment. Earlier this year, Reuters reported that Novo had approached Global Blood Therapeutics about acquiring the U.S.
biotech company. However, people familiar with the matter said Novo's offer fell short and the two sides had not been able to bridge the valuation gap.
The FDA is due to decide whether to approve Orexigen's product this week. It may also compete with a new drug from Orexigen Inc. Novo Nordisk's drug, if approved, would compete with Qsymia and Belviq, a drug made by Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc and Eisai that has also had disappointing sales.
Although Wegovy was launched just six weeks back, prescriptions for the treatment have already reached a similar level to cheap saxenda, Novo's other obesity drug that was launched in 2015, the company said.
Predictably, Hollywood has been aware of Ozempic for a lot longer than us - Variety magazine recently quipped that the drug deserved its own thank-you speech at the Emmys, as so many stars on the podium had obviously been taking it.
Elon Musk raved about its more powerful sister drug, Wegovy, on Twitter; Kim Kardashian, it is hotly rumoured, used semaglutide to lose 16lb in order to fit into Marilyn Monroe's dress for the Met Ball. On TikTok the hashtag #ozempic has had more than 285 million views.

He was a mere shadow of his former self, prancing around the stage in a silver catsuit. Semaglutide, or Ozempic as it is branded, a new diet drug that everybody - but everybody, darling, including one of the world's most famous supermodels - is apparently taking.
Over the summer I was lucky enough to be invited to a 60th birthday at which the after-dinner entertainment was a private performance by one of the UK's leading male pop stars.
More eye-popping than the actual show, though, was how incredible said star looked.
