FDA advisory committee rejected Hims & Hers' peptide candidate, sending the telemedicine company's stock down. The negative decision signals regulatory hurdles for telehealth players moving into weight-loss and metabolic drug delivery.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Digital Health.
