U.S. regulators have green-lit a pill version of the weight-loss drug Wegovy, making an oral version of the so-called “skinny jabs” available for the first time.

The Food and Drug Administration approved the pill made by Scandinavian pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, giving it the edge over American rival Eli Lilly in the race to bring an anti-obesity pill to market.
