Novo Nordisk shares continue to fall after competitor Hims & Hers Health announced that it is launching a cheap copy of a slimming preparation. "An illegal product that poses a significant risk to patient safety," the Danish manufacturer believes.

Novo Nordisk shares are down another 8 percent after an article from Reuters stating that U.S.-based Hims & Hers Health will begin selling cheaper copies of Novo Nordisk's new Wegovy pill at $49 per month.

In a press release, Novo Nordisk opposed the plans and said the company will "take legal and regulatory action to protect patients, our intellectual property rights and the integrity of the US drug approval framework."

Hims & Hers shares were up 1.1 percent on Wall Street.
