Sun Pharma Receives Brazil Approval to Launch Semaglutide Injection
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has received approval from Brazil's health regulator ANVISA to manufacture and market semaglutide injections for adults with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes. The product, offered as a pre-filled, multi-dose injectable pen in two strengths for once-weekly use, will be launched soon through a partnership with Brazil-based Hypera Pharma. The Brazilian semaglutide market is valued at approximately $413 million. This approval follows Sun Pharma's recent launches of generic semaglutide in India and South Africa after patent expiries opened the market to generics.
