Novo Nordisk A/S(NYSE:NVO) is under mounting political pressure over the high U.S. prices of its blockbuster weight-loss drugs, Ozempic and Wegovy, as the race for the White House heats up. The pricing disparity between the U.S. and other international markets has drawn sharp criticism from lawmakers, putting the company in the political spotlight.

Ozempic, for example, costs around $969 per month in the U.S., while the same drug is available for as low as $71 in France. Wegovy, another Novo Nordisk drug, is priced at $1,349 in the U.S., versus only $92 in the U.K.
