Semaglutide: New Weight Loss Drugs to Launch in India

Semaglutide, known as Ozempic and Wegovy, is a popular drug for diabetes and weight loss.

Novo Nordisk is bringing it to India.

There's a patent, and companies are challenging it to make cheaper versions.

These drugs work like a natural hormone, helping control blood sugar and appetite.

While the tablet form exists, the injectable version is coming.

There are also other similar drugs, like Mounjaro.

However, these drugs can have side effects, and stopping them might lead to weight gain.

Multiple Indian companies aim to produce semaglutide, potentially reducing costs.
