Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Announces Health Canada Approval for Generic Semaglutide Injection in CanadaApril 29, 2026 7:38 AM
Business Wire
Dr. Reddy’s becomes the first company to receive marketing authorization for generic Semaglutide Injection in Canada
The market authorization was granted to Dr. Reddy’s ahead of Health Canada’s review target date
Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. (BSE: 500124, NSE: DRREDDY, NYSE: RDY, NSEIFSC: DRREDDY; along with its subsidiaries together referred to as “Dr. Reddy’s”), a global pharmaceutical company, today announced that it has received a Notice of Compliance (NOC) from Health Canada for its generic Semaglutide Injection. Dr. Reddy’s becomes the first company to receive the market authorization for generic Semaglutide Injection* in Canada, ahead of Health Canada’s review target date. The market authorization covers the 2 mg / pen (1.34 mg / mL) and 4 mg / pen (1.34 mg / mL). With launch preparations underway, Dr. Reddy’s is well-positioned to bring this important treatment option available to Canadian patients.
As per Public Health Agency of Canada, around 3.9 million people (9.7% of the population) in Canada over a year old live with diagnosed diabetes. In addition, over 6% of adults in Canada live with prediabetes, which gives them a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes. The number of people living with diabetes is expected to continue to increase as Canada's population ages and grows 1. GLP-1 receptor agonist therapies, including Semaglutide, are supported by a substantial global clinical evidence base demonstrating improvements in glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c, in adults with type 2 diabetes when used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management strategy. Canada is recognized as the world's second-largest market for Semaglutide2.
Health Canada’s approval demonstrates Dr. Reddy’s expertise in complex generics and peptide-based therapeutics, supported by in-house API as well as formulation development capabilities. The API is entirely produced in-house, with finished product manufacturing currently carried out by the company’s manufacturing partner, OneSource Specialty Pharma Limited.
Erez Israeli, Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Reddy’s, said: “The approval of our generic Semaglutide Injection by Health Canada represents a significant milestone in our GLP-1 journey and underscores our expertise in complex product development, peptide science, and our ability to meet stringent global regulatory standards. Canada remains a priority market for us. As the first company to receive market authorization for generic Semaglutide Injection in Canada, we remain dedicated to expanding access to innovative, high-quality, affordable GLP-1 treatments for patients with diabetes in the country. Additionally, with our in-house development capabilities, we are committed to ensuring a reliable and consistent supply of this important therapy for Canadian patients. This approval further fortifies our long-standing presence in Canada and enhances our diabetes management portfolio for regulated markets.”
* Semaglutide Injection (semaglutide) is indicated for the once-weekly treatment of adult patients with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control, in combination with
diet and exercise in patients for whom metformin is inappropriate due to contraindication or intolerance
metformin, when diet and exercise plus maximal tolerated dose of metformin do not achieve adequate glycemic control
metformin and a sulfonylurea, when diet and exercise plus dual therapy with metformin and a sulfonylurea do not achieve adequate glycemic control
metformin or a sulfonylurea and a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), when diet and exercise plus metformin or a sulfonylurea, in addition to an SGLT2i, do not achieve adequate glycemic control
basal insulin with metformin, when diet and exercise plus basal insulin with metformin do not achieve adequate glycemic control
Semaglutide has not been studied in combination with prandial insulin (short acting). Semaglutide Injection is not a substitute for insulin. Semaglutide Injection should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (formerly known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or IDDM) or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
Please consult the product monograph for complete prescribing information, warnings and precautions, adverse reactions, and contraindications.

It's ringfence time at Reddy's
C Chitti Pantulu / DNA MONEY
Wednesday, 07 May , 2008, 09:52
The Orchid Chemicals lesson has not been lost on Dr Reddy's Laboratories.
More India business stories
The Hyderabad-based company's promoters are seeking to ringfence India's second largest pharma player.
Dr Reddy's vice-chairman and chief executive G V Prasad told DNA Money that the company's board, at a meeting on January 25, had approved a preferential issue of share warrants up to 5% of the existing equity of DRL, exercisable into an equal number of equity shares.
"We have not exercised that option because we haven't approached shareholders yet," he said, adding that the option may be looked at now.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's records show that promoters held 25.14% in Dr Reddy's as on March 31, 2008.
Asked about hostile bids, Prasad said the management was hoping to create good shareholder value and through this, keep such threats low.
"The only way (to avoid hostile bids) is to keep the share price from dipping. It shouldn't become low enough to attract such bids," he said.
But Dr Reddy's shares haven't exactly been soaring on the BSE.
The shares fell 8.49% to Rs 643.80 on Tuesday. After touching a high of Rs 747 on January 2, the company's shares have dipped 14% to date. Prasad blames the problems being faced by Betapharm, the German generics maker it acquired in 2006 to the drag on Dr Reddy's. Price reforms introduced by Germany in April have made life difficult.
The other factors that have hurt its performance are increasing rebates to insurance companies and a change in the composition of Betapharm's top products.

Prasad, however, felt that the downswing is temporary and won't hurt the company in the long term.

http://www.reuters.com/article/marketsNews/idINDEL3297520080417?rpc=44
NEW DELHI, April 17 (Reuters) - India's leading drug makers
should report rises in quarterly earnings on strong generic
drugs sales, with the exception of Dr Reddy's Laboratories
(REDY.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) whose profit is seen falling sharply due to one-time gains in last year's earnings. Cheaper generic drugs are becoming increasingly popular as
governments around the world battle to contain soaring
healthcare costs, but export-driven Indian pharmaceutical firms
are facing challenges of stiff pricing pressure in the United
States. Analysts are upbeat about the outlook for the sector as
drugs with annual U.S. sales of $50 billion are expected to go
off patent by 2010, creating more opportunities for Indian
firms to sell generic versions or cheap copies of branded
products. "We believe that the worst is over for Indian generic
companies and expect gradual improvement in their performance
over the next two years," Motilal Oswal Securities said in a
report. An increased focus on the domestic market, which is
expected to maintain the 12-14 percent growth rate of recent
years, should help drug makers in the long term, Prabhudas
Lilladher said. Ranbaxy Laboratories (RANB.BO: Quote, Profile, Research), India's top drug maker by sales, is expected to post a 15.5 percent rise in March quarter sales when it reports on Tuesday, but higher interest costs and lower other income mean its profit will rise by just 2.3 percent on year to 1.32 billion rupees, according to a Reuters poll. (See bottom of story for company valuation, share price movement and a table of forecasts) Goldman Sachs, which maintains a strong outlook for the sector in the financial year that began on April 1, estimates
average industry sales growth to be 21 percent from a year
earlier, more than its previous forecast of 16 percent. The Indian rupee weakened by 1.7 percent against the dollar in the March quarter, after rising more than 12 percent in 2007, which could have led to some foreign exchange hedging losses, analysts said. New York-listed Dr Reddy's (RDY.N: Quote, Profile, Research) is expected to report a 64 percent fall in net profit, as earnings a year earlier were boosted by one-time gains from a 180-day exclusivity period for the generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK.L: Quote, Profile, Research) anti-nausea
drug Zofran. The company also faces pressure on its business in Germany, where it acquired Betapharm for $572 million in 2006. The acquisition has been a drag on earnings because of supply
constraints and the appreciation of the rupee. Sun Pharmaceuticals (SUN.BO: Quote, Profile, Research), India's most valuable drug maker, is expected to report its net profit rose 15 percent to 2.65 billion rupees, buoyed by sales of oxcarbazepine tablets, a generic form of Novartis AG's (NOVN.VX: Quote, Profile, Research) epilepsy drug Trileptal. Sun shares exclusive U.S. marketing rights with Indian peer Glenmark Pharmaceuticals (GLEN.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) for the drug. Cipla Ltd (CIPL.BO: Quote, Profile, Research) is expected to report a 39.4 percent rise in net profit on revenue growth of 9.6 percent, helped by higher exports. Pharmaceutical stocks outperformed the main index in a falling market during the January-March quarter, with the BSE healthcare index falling 13 percent, versus a 23 percent drop in the benchmark index .BSESN.

Notes to the Editor:
About 7TM Receptors (GPCRs): 7TM receptors (GPCRs) contain a generic protein structure of 7 bundled transmembrane (7TM) helices that is extensively used for a variety of stimuli e.g. photons, monoamines, fatty acids, peptide hormones, and glycoproteins. Approximately 40% of today’s prescription drugs target 7TM receptors, but utilize only 5% of the known 7TM receptor targets. 7TM Pharma is tightly integrating its structure based drug discovery approach, Site-Directed Drug Discovery®, with traditional medicinal chemistry and expert knowledge on peptides and has thereby created a drug discovery platform that accelerates the generation of new drugs targeting 7TM receptors.
