STOCKHOLM, Aug 5 (Reuters) – Novo Nordisk said on Wednesday ​it had won ‌a preliminary injunction against Ceban Ziekenhuisfarmacie from a district court ‌in ​the Netherlands ⁠in a patent ⁠infringement case involving a compounded semaglutide nasal spray.

Semaglutide is ​the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk’s ⁠weight-loss ⁠drug Wegovy.

“The Court ​found that Ceban infringed ​Novo Nordisk’s supplementary protection ‌certificate (SPC) covering semaglutide,” the Danish drugmaker said in ⁠a statement.

It said the court ordered Dutch firm Ceban ⁠to ‌cease the ⁠infringing activities, remove ​product ‌listings, disclose supply ​chain ⁠information, and reimburse Novo Nordisk’s legal costs.
