Aug 25 (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk Chief Executive Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen said on Friday he was confident Catalent would resolves its problems making Novo's hugely-popular weight-loss drug Wegovy as the company scrambles to boost output to meet soaring demand.

"I am confident in that," Jorgensen said at a Reuters Newsmaker event when asked about the issues Catalent has had.

Reuters reported in July that Catalent's factory in Brussels that fills Wegovy injection pens had repeatedly breached U.S. sterile-safety rules in recent years and staff had failed to perform required quality checks. (Reporting by Maggie Fick; Editing by Josephine Mason and Mark Potter)
