Sanofi (NYSE:SNY) said yesterday that it is suing competitor Novo Nordisk (NYSE:NVO) for “misleading” marketing materials that claim Sanofi’s insulin drugs Lantus and Toujeo will be “blocked” by U.S. pharmacy benefit manager CVS Caremark in January and that patients should switch to Nordisk’s Tresiba.
