A sign at a pharmacy in Jongno District, central Seoul, says that Wegovy, a weight-loss drug, is available for sale on Thursday.
Novo Nordisk's Wegovy is a once-weekly injectable prescription drug that mimics the action of a gut hormone called glucagon-like peptide 1, or GLP-1, to help regulate appetite and food intake.
