Assembling the pens after a glass cartridge is filled with the drug elsewhere is the final stage of manufacturing before Wegovy is shipped. Record profits from Wegovy and its type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic, which contains the same active ingredient, helped Novo became Europe's most valuable listed company earlier this month, with a market capitalisation of about $420 billion.
