Sandoz

Sandoz has received market approval in Canada for a generic version of the diabetes drug semaglutide, authorized as a weekly injection for adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The Canadian market for GLP‑1 drugs is estimated at around $2.6 billion and includes roughly 12 million semaglutide injection pens annually. Sandoz also reports approval in Brazil and is studying a tirzepatide generic in the US; the Canadian approval does not affect its 2026 guidance. » Altro su finanzen.net
