The launch of new, affordable medications for significant health conditions like obesity and diabetes is a positive development for the company and patients.
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Limited announced the launch of its semaglutide injection in India, available under the brand names Noveltreat and Sematrinity. Noveltreat is indicated for chronic weight management in adults and comes in five strengths, while Sematrinity is for the treatment of adults with insufficiently controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus, available in two strengths.

Kirti Ganorkar, Managing Director of Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, expressed the company's endeavor to provide high-quality, affordable therapy to a wider patient community in India. The launch includes a comprehensive range of products backed by expertise in manufacturing complex medicines, along with a holistic patient support program to guide patients throughout their treatment journey.
The Noveltreat prefilled pen features a concealed needle for ease of use and safety, while Sematrinity comes in a multi-dose pen format for flexible and accurate dosing. Both pens are manufactured in Europe by leading global pharmaceutical device suppliers.
The announcement also provided context on GLP-1 agonists, highlighting their effectiveness in treating type 2 diabetes and obesity, and their role in reducing cardiovascular and renal risks. It cited statistics on the prevalence of obesity and diabetes in India, underscoring the need for timely screening, effective therapies, and lifestyle interventions.
