Novo Nordisk Stock (NVO) Inches Higher Despite More U.K. Weight Jab Concerns
Shares in pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk (NVO) edged higher today despite more pressure from health officials in the U.K. about the safety of weight-loss drugs. Confident Investing Starts Here: Pancreas Link The U.K.'s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said today that it will investigate whether there is a link between weight-loss injections and acute inflammation of the pancreas. Indeed, they are asking people on weight-loss drugs who have been hospitalized by acute pancreatitis to get in touch. This comes after data from MHRA which showed that since the drugs were licensed, there have been hundreds of reported cases of acute and chronic pancreatitis among people taking GLP-1 medicines. That includes 113 cases and one death linked to semaglutide, which is the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and Ozempic weight-loss injections. Meanwhile, 181 cases, with five deaths, were reported linked to tirzepatide, which is the active ingredient in Eli Lilly's (LLY) rival Mounjaro treatment. MHRA chief safety officer Dr Alison Cave said the aim was to 'better predict those most at risk of adverse reactions.' Think Twice This follows a warning earlier this month from the MHRA to pregnant women that it is unclear whether weight-loss injections could harm unborn babies. Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said this regular commentary on the side effects of injectable weight-loss drugs could make some patients think twice about using them. 'Reports of pancreas-related illnesses in a tiny number of cases could yet attract regulatory scrutiny,' he added. In the UK, the injections are only available through the state-run National Health Service, but people are still accessing them via sellers on social media or beauty salons. The demand is expected to be there. Globally, about 3.8 billion people over 25 and just under 750 million children and young people will be overweight or obese by 2050. Is NVO a Good Stock to Buy Now? On TipRanks, NVO has a Moderate Buy consensus based on 4 Buy, 3 Hold and 1 Sell rating. Its highest price target is $142.56. NVO stock's consensus price target is $94.79 implying a 40.32% upside. See more NVO analyst ratings

‘We have a huge need': Canadian Blood Services urges donors to book over long weekend
Canadian Blood Services on Wharncliffe Road South in London, Ont. on June 27, 2025. (Reta Ismail/CTV News London) As Canadians gear up for the Canada Day long weekend, Canadian Blood Services is reminding the public there's still time and still a pressing need to donate blood. Clinics, including the donor centre on Wharncliffe Road South in London, will remain open on July 1. Appointments are available throughout the weekend. 'We have a huge need for donors during the summer months,' said Marisa Gatfield of Canadian Blood Services. 'We find that donors are busy with vacations, enjoying family time with nice weather.' The need for blood doesn't pause for holidays, and neither do clinics. Staff said the process is straightforward, even for first-time donors. 'When you come in to donate, make sure you bring a physical piece of government-issued ID, be well hydrated, have eaten and have a good night's sleep and the rest, leave to us and we'll walk you through the entire process,' explained Gatfield. For many donors, giving blood is a meaningful routine. 'Easy, fast. And they are so welcoming and heartwarming,' said Maram Aalloulou. 'I love coming here every once in a while.' John Davidson donates regularly to manage his hemochromatosis, a condition that results in too much iron in the blood. 'It brings my iron level down, and it's good for the blood centre,' he said. Others, like Eric Peloquin, donate out of personal connection. 'I come to give blood because it makes me feel good,' he said. 'Over the years, members of my family and some friends needed blood transfusions.' Then there are long-time donors like Bob Moynihan, who has donated weekly for 30 years. 'It started as a competition with a friend to try and catch him. He had more donations, and I got him,' Moynihan said with a laugh. Canadian Blood Services says 75 per cent of donors view giving blood as part of their Canadian identity — a small act with life-saving impact. To book an appointment, visit use the GiveBlood app, or call 1-888-2-DONATE.
