"receiving approvals to distribute the weight-loss medicines of Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk"

I'm pretty sure that's just not true.

How exactly are copy of drugs being approved by FDA in USA? Each version of the drug should receive its own approval. How is this different than selling chinese knockoffs of licensed products? Why does each pharma company need trials and FDA approval for their version of the drug but copies made in a random lab don't. Am I missing something?

Hi Luliu, I might wrote that incorrectly. Thanks for your reply! To distribute medicines, you need approval from the producer. FDA approved knockoff alternatives (such as Hims' solution) for the relatively expensive treatment options offered by Eli Lilly/Novo.
