Show Notes
Patents on blockbuster weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy expired in Canada, paving the way for cheaper generic versions. Health Canada is reviewing nine submissions for semaglutide generics, which could hit shelves by mid-summer. Doctors emphasize the need for affordable access to these vital tools against obesity, as high prices currently limit patient access. In India, generics launched at just $19 a month, and analysts predict up to 50 versions flooding the market soon. Companies like Sandoz, Apotex, and Teva are vying for a late June launch in Canada, aiming to significantly drop prices and transform weight management strategies.
