Pfizer has filed a lawsuit against Metsera and Novo Nordisk, following Novo's announcement of a $9 billion acquisition bid for Metsera, which exceeded Pfizer's $5 billion offer.

Despite Novo's higher bid, Pfizer argues the offer is overshadowed by significant regulatory risks that could hinder the deal's completion.
