June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. supplies of progesterone are coming under strain, with patients, clinicians, and pharmacists reporting recent intermittent shortages of oral versions of the hormone used in many fertility and menopause treatments.
The supply concerns come as women going through menopause across the country are already facing difficulties filling prescriptions for estrogen patches, another commonly used hormone therapy.
Demand for hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, has climbed sharply since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration removed a longstanding safety warning from many such therapies in late 2025. Doctors have also become more comfortable prescribing HRT, while women's health and menopause experts on social media platforms have encouraged its use.
That has combined to produce tight supplies of progesterone, often prescribed to reduce the risk of uterine cancer, alongside estrogen for relief of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood changes and osteoporosis.
Robin Wilson, 64, director of operations for the Iowa State wrestling program, said progesterone capsules became more difficult to get about a year ago after nearly nine years without supply issues.
Her local pharmacy in Ames, Iowa, recently could not fill her usual 90-day prescription, offering instead a smaller supply while awaiting a shipment. "This is the first time this has happened," Wilson said.
SUPPLIES TIGHTEN WITH DEMAND SURGE
Progesterone-containing HRT prescriptions for women aged 45 and older have more than tripled since January 2021, to about 12 women per 1,000 in May of 2026, according to health analytics company Truveta, whose electronic health record database covers more than 130 million patients in all 50 states.
Prescribing rates have increased more than 19% since the FDA's label change, the data showed.
"While estrogen patches are incurring the biggest supply challenges, progesterone supplies are beginning to be stretched too," said Dr. Kathleen Jordan, chief medical officer of telehealth provider Midi Health.
The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists lists certain oral progesterone capsule products from Amneal Pharmaceuticals AMRX.O and Hikma Pharmaceuticals HIK.L in its shortages database.
"We have seen increased demand for progesterone capsules in recent months," said Amneal, adding that it is increasing manufacturing capacity at its New York facility and continues to meet contracted supply commitments.
Hikma did not respond to requests for comment.
A spokesperson for CVS Health CVS.N, one of the nation's largest pharmacy chains, said manufacturers have been unable to provide sufficient HRT supplies for several months.
According to an FDA database, nine companies manufacture oral progesterone, including Teva TEVA.TA and Dr. Reddy's REDY.NS. Teva did not respond to a request for comment, while Dr. Reddy's said the product has not been part of its U.S. portfolio since 2022 and the company does not manufacture or market it.
The FDA does not list progesterone as being in shortage.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the FDA, said one manufacturer is experiencing delays but others have product available. The agency is working with manufacturers to help ensure supplies meet demand, the spokesperson said.
COMPOUNDING CAUTION
Clinicians say progesterone shortages have been milder than those affecting estrogen patches, though some patients still face delays getting prescriptions filled.
This is partly because women who have had a hysterectomy do not need progesterone with HRT, and because alternatives like combination patches, progestin-releasing IUDs, and oral progestins reduce reliance on any single formulation.
Manufacturers have not disclosed a specific cause for shortages, said Michael Ganio, senior director of pharmacy practice and quality at ASHP, the pharmacists' trade group.
"Without a reason, it can be difficult to know whether there is disruption due to manufacturing or other delays, or an increase in demand that the available market supply cannot meet," Ganio said.
Some have turned to compounding pharmacies for progesterone and estrogen, said Valerie Richards, director of clinical services at Strive Compounding Pharmacy.
"Providers are not waiting for the commercial supply chain to sort itself out," she said.
Compounding pharmacies do their own preparation of pharmaceutical ingredients, which is allowed when the FDA has declared a drug in shortage or for personalized doses not otherwise available.
Dr. Gillian Goddard, adjunct assistant professor of medicine at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, said compounded products not subject to the strict regulatory process of FDA-approved drugs "could contain too much or too little progesterone," leading to health issues and potentially costly ultrasounds and biopsies.
"I always caution against using compounded products," she said.

June 15 (Reuters) - Global drugmakers are expanding their U.S. footprint, pledging billions of dollars to ramp up manufacturing capacity and research in the country.
Pharmaceutical companies including Eli Lilly, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Roche have announced roughly $500 billion in U.S. investments as they seek to strengthen infrastructure, mitigate supply-chain risks and reassure investors.
Pfizer PFE.N
Pfizer reached a deal with President Donald Trump on September 30 to invest $70 billion in research and development and domestic manufacturing, and received a three-year grace period exempting its products from the pharmaceutical-targeted tariffs.
GSK GSK.L
The London-based drugmaker plans to invest $30 billion in U.S. research and development and supply chain infrastructure over five years.
Eli Lilly LLY.N
U.S. President Donald Trump said in January that Eli Lilly plans to build six plants in the United States.
Lilly said last year that it planned to spend at least $27 billion to build four U.S. plants to expand production and bolster medical supply chains. The company has since announced details on three plants, in Alabama, Virginia and Texas.
Lilly in January said it will build a $3.5 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania, its fourth new site, in an effort to expand U.S. production and bolster medical supply chains.
Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N
The drugmaker plans to raise U.S. investments by 25%, totaling $55 billion, over the next four years. It plans to build four plants, including one at Wilson, North Carolina, and another at Tokyo-based Fujifilm Biotechnologies' manufacturing site in Holly Springs, North Carolina, over the next 10 years.
The company said in June it has invested about $1 billion in Jacksonville, Florida, to strengthen U.S.-based manufacturing for its eye care business. The new facility is expected to be fully operational in 2028, J&J said.
Roche ROG.S
The Swiss drugmaker said in April last year it would invest $50 billion in the U.S. over the next five years.
A month later, it announced an additional $550 million investment to expand its Indianapolis diagnostics manufacturing hub. The expansion will span Indiana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and California, creating more than 12,000 jobs.
In January, Roche said it will more than double its investment in its drug manufacturing facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina, to about $2 billion, up from the over $700 million announced in May 2025.
AstraZeneca AZN.L
The Anglo-Swedish drugmaker will invest $50 billion on U.S. manufacturing by 2030. The investment will fund a new drug substance facility in Virginia, its largest single-site global investment, alongside expansions in Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Indiana and Texas.
It has already started technology transfers and is managing inventory in 2025 to minimize any tariff hit. Company executives have said the impact would be "very short-lived."
Novartis NOVN.S
The Swiss drugmaker plans to spend $23 billion to build and expand 10 facilities in the U.S. over the next five years. This includes building six new manufacturing plants and expanding its San Diego research and development site, which is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs.
Sanofi SASY.PA
The French drugmaker plans to invest at least $20 billion in the U.S. through 2030 to boost manufacturing and research. Sanofi plans to expand its U.S. manufacturing capacity through direct investments in the company's sites and partnerships with other domestic manufacturers.
Chief Financial Officer François Roger said in July the potential tariffs are expected to have a limited impact in 2025, as the company already has inventory in place in the U.S.
Biogen BIIB.O
The U.S. drugmaker will invest $2 billion more in its existing manufacturing plants in North Carolina, adding capacity for gene-targeting therapies and automation. The company has seven factories in the state, with an eighth set to begin operations in late 2025.
Merck MRK.N
The U.S. drugmaker has begun building a $3 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Virginia as part of its over $70 billion investment to expand domestic manufacturing and research and development.
It will also invest $1 billion in a new Delaware plant to make biologics and cancer drug Keytruda, to boost U.S. production and potentially create over 4,500 jobs. It also opened a $1 billion facility at its North Carolina site in March.
Merck's animal health unit will invest $895 million to expand its Kansas manufacturing and R&D site, part of a broader $9 billion U.S. investment through 2028.
CEO Robert Davis in July flagged minimal impact from potential tariffs in 2025, and that the company remained well-positioned due to inventory management and moving of manufacturing to the U.S.
Amgen AMGN.O
The U.S.-based biopharma firm plans to invest $900 million to expand its Ohio manufacturing facility, bringing total investment in the state to $1.4 billion and adding 750 jobs. In December, the company committed $1 billion to build a second facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina.
Amgen said in September it is investing more than $600 million to build a new research and development center at its headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California.
The drugmaker announced it will invest $650 million to expand drug manufacturing at its facility in Juncos, Puerto Rico, a move expected to create nearly 750 jobs.
Amgen said it would invest an additional $300 million in its U.S. manufacturing network, expanding its biologics facility in Puerto Rico and support hundreds of construction jobs.
Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO
The Danish pharmaceutical company said in August its strong U.S. manufacturing footprint positions it well for tariff challenges, describing itself as "very U.S.-centric and U.S.-focused".
AbbVie ABBV.N
U.S. drugmaker AbbVie ABBV.N said in January it has committed $100 billion over the next decade to U.S.-based research and development as part of its three-year deal with the Trump administration to reduce drug prices.
It has 11 manufacturing sites in the U.S. and has said it is "fairly insulated" from any tariff impact this year, given inventory management actions.
The company said in February that it plans to invest $380 million to build two manufacturing facilities at its current North Chicago, Illinois, campus, to support the production of its neuroscience and obesity medications.
Gilead Sciences GILD.O
Earlier this year, the drugmaker announced $11 billion in new planned investment in the U.S. to add to its domestic manufacturing and research heft, taking its total pledged investment to $32 billion.
Gilead said in September that it started work on a pharmaceutical development and manufacturing hub at its headquarters in Foster City, California, in addition to which, it is currently developing two other sites.
Cipla CIPL.NS
The Indian drugmaker is expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint by investing in capacity expansion for complex respiratory products at its advanced facilities in Fall River, Massachusetts, and Central Islip, New York.
CSL CSL.AX
Australia's CSL said in November it would invest $1.5 billion in the U.S. to manufacture plasma-derived therapies, expanding its footprint in the country over the next five years.
In March, the company announced the expansion of its plasma therapy manufacturing facility in Kankakee, Illinois, which is expected to be operational by 2031.

Adds sector context, analyst comment in paragraphs 2 and 4
By Kashish Tandon
May 22 (Reuters) - Sun Pharmaceutical Industries' SUN.NS fourth-quarter profit edged past estimates, helped by robust demand for its specialty drugs, although increasing cost pressures squeezed margins and sent shares lower on Friday.
The drugmaker's shares fell as much as 3.1% after results before closing 2.5% lower for the day.
Growing costs, especially in the research and development category, as per analysts, pushed up overall expenses 16% to 115.19 billion rupees.
This ate into core margins, which contracted to 27.1% from 28.7% last year. Shrikant Akolkar, a pharma analyst with Nuvama Institutional Equities, called the cost pressure and margins "disappointing".
Consolidated net profit for the March quarter rose 26.2% to 27.14 billion rupees ($283 million), edging past analysts' estimate of 27.12 billion rupees, according to LSEG data.
The drugmaker's push towards boosting its specialty therapies such as dermatology, oncology and obesity helped its bottomline and also allowed it to outperform rivals Dr Reddy's REDY.NS and Cipla CIPL.NS, which missed March-quarter estimates.
Revenue in the specialty drugs segment rose 20% to $354 million - accounting for nearly a quarter of total sales - helped by 14.8% growth in India, its biggest market. U.S. sales fell 1.1%.
The earnings come weeks after Sun Pharma struck its most ambitious deal yet: an $11.75 billion all-cash offer for U.S.-based Organon & Co OGN.N, the largest acquisition ever by an Indian pharmaceutical company.

Adds Hims' comments in paragraphs 3 and 5
By Sriparna Roy
May 21 (Reuters) - Hims & Hers Health HIMS.N said on Thursday it is now offering Canadians a generic version of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's NOVOb.CO blockbuster GLP-1 drugs, through its telehealth platform.
The generic drug is made by Apotex Inc, the largest Canada-based global health company, Hims said, marking the platform's first international generic GLP-1 offering.
Hims will offer it as a part of its weight-loss program.
The expiry of Novo's patent for semaglutide, the active ingredient in the Danish drugmaker's diabetes drug Ozempic and weight-loss drug Wegovy, has opened the door for several drugmakers looking to enter the Canadian market with generic versions, which are essentially copies of branded drugs.
Generic semaglutide is authorized for sale by Health Canada for the management of type 2 diabetes, but Hims does not currently offer access to treatment services for the condition in the country.
Health Canada had approved Apotex's drug earlier this month. Last week, the company launched its generic drug, Apo-Semaglutide Injection, indicated for once-weekly treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes.
Apotex did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Indian drugmaker Dr Reddy's REDY.NS also received the green light last month, and has launched its generic version in the country.
The price of Ozempic in Canada ranges between C$200 ($145.27) and C$400 per month, depending on dosage, region and insurance.
"When more affordable options enter the GLP-1 space, it becomes more dynamic, and prices fall across the board. That benefits patients everywhere, regardless of where they seek care," said Sandy Van, chief medical officer at Hims & Hers Canada.
Canadians will be able to receive personalized plans starting at C$149 per month, the company said.
The telehealth firm said it is open to partnering with other manufacturers in Canada, but did not share further details.

Changes dateline, updates paragraph 1, adds Amgen's investment
May 4 (Reuters) - Global drugmakers have been ramping up U.S. manufacturing and stockpiling inventory as the Trump administration moves to impose 100% tariffs on branded drugs unless companies cut prices or make medicines domestically.
Although enforcement is delayed for companies investing in U.S. manufacturing, the policy has already prompted fast-tracked projects, price cuts and direct-to-consumer sales.
Pfizer and AstraZeneca secured multi-year tariff exemptions through pricing deals and commitments to the new TrumpRx.gov platform. Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson and Merck have pledged billions to expand U.S. operations to avoid penalties.
Here's what drugmakers are doing to mitigate supply-chain risks and reassure investors:
Pfizer PFE.N
Pfizer reached a deal with President Donald Trump on September 30 to invest $70 billion in research and development and domestic manufacturing, and received a three-year grace period exempting its products from the pharmaceutical-targeted tariffs.
GSK GSK.L
The London-based drugmaker plans to invest $30 billion in U.S. research and development and supply chain infrastructure over five years.
Eli Lilly LLY.N
U.S. President Donald Trump said in January that Eli Lilly plans to build six plants in the United States.
Lilly said last year that it planned to spend at least $27 billion to build four U.S. plants to expand production and bolster medical supply chains. The company has since announced details on three plants, in Alabama, Virginia and Texas.
Lilly in January said it will build a $3.5 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania, its fourth new site, in an effort to expand U.S. production and bolster medical supply chains.
Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N
The drugmaker plans to raise U.S. investments by 25%, totaling $55 billion, over the next four years. It plans to build four plants, including one at Wilson, North Carolina, and another at Tokyo-based Fujifilm Biotechnologies' manufacturing site in Holly Springs, North Carolina, over the next 10 years.
The company said in February it would invest more than $1 billion to build a new cell therapy facility in Pennsylvania, part of its larger plans announced last year to scale up U.S. manufacturing.
Roche ROG.S
The Swiss drugmaker said in April last year it would invest $50 billion in the U.S. over the next five years.
A month later, it announced an additional $550 million investment to expand its Indianapolis diagnostics manufacturing hub. The expansion will span Indiana, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and California, creating more than 12,000 jobs.
In January, Roche said it will more than double its investment in its drug manufacturing facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina, to about $2 billion, up from the over $700 million announced in May 2025.
AstraZeneca AZN.L
The Anglo-Swedish drugmaker will invest $50 billion on U.S. manufacturing by 2030. The investment will fund a new drug substance facility in Virginia, its largest single-site global investment, alongside expansions in Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Indiana and Texas.
It has already started technology transfers and is managing inventory in 2025 to minimize any tariff hit. Company executives have said the impact would be "very short-lived."
Novartis NOVN.S
The Swiss drugmaker plans to spend $23 billion to build and expand 10 facilities in the U.S. over the next five years. This includes building six new manufacturing plants and expanding its San Diego research and development site, which is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs.
Sanofi SASY.PA
The French drugmaker plans to invest at least $20 billion in the U.S. through 2030 to boost manufacturing and research. Sanofi plans to expand its U.S. manufacturing capacity through direct investments in the company's sites and partnerships with other domestic manufacturers.
Chief Financial Officer François Roger said in July the potential tariffs are expected to have a limited impact in 2025, as the company already has inventory in place in the U.S.
Biogen BIIB.O
The U.S. drugmaker will invest $2 billion more in its existing manufacturing plants in North Carolina, adding capacity for gene-targeting therapies and automation. The company has seven factories in the state, with an eighth set to begin operations in late 2025.
Merck MRK.N
The U.S. drugmaker has begun building a $3 billion pharmaceutical manufacturing plant in Virginia as part of its over $70 billion investment to expand domestic manufacturing and research and development.
It will also invest $1 billion in a new Delaware plant to make biologics and cancer drug Keytruda, to boost U.S. production and potentially create over 4,500 jobs. It also opened a $1 billion facility at its North Carolina site in March.
Merck's animal health unit will invest $895 million to expand its Kansas manufacturing and R&D site, part of a broader $9 billion U.S. investment through 2028.
CEO Robert Davis in July flagged minimal impact from potential tariffs in 2025, and that the company remained well-positioned due to inventory management and moving of manufacturing to the U.S.
Amgen AMGN.O
The U.S.-based biopharma firm plans to invest $900 million to expand its Ohio manufacturing facility, bringing total investment in the state to $1.4 billion and adding 750 jobs. In December, the company committed $1 billion to build a second facility in Holly Springs, North Carolina.
Amgen said in September it is investing more than $600 million to build a new research and development center at its headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California.
The drugmaker announced it will invest $650 million to expand drug manufacturing at its facility in Juncos, Puerto Rico, a move expected to create nearly 750 jobs.
Amgen said it would invest an additional $300 million in its U.S. manufacturing network, expanding its biologics facility in Puerto Rico and support hundreds of construction jobs.
Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO
The Danish pharmaceutical company said in August its strong U.S. manufacturing footprint positions it well for tariff challenges, describing itself as "very U.S.-centric and U.S.-focused".
AbbVie ABBV.N
U.S. drugmaker AbbVie ABBV.N said in January it has committed $100 billion over the next decade to U.S.-based research and development as part of its three-year deal with the Trump administration to reduce drug prices.
It has 11 manufacturing sites in the U.S. and has said it is "fairly insulated" from any tariff impact this year, given inventory management actions.
The company said in February that it plans to invest $380 million to build two manufacturing facilities at its current North Chicago, Illinois, campus, to support the production of its neuroscience and obesity medications.
Gilead Sciences GILD.O
Earlier this year, the drugmaker announced $11 billion in new planned investment in the U.S. to add to its domestic manufacturing and research heft, taking its total pledged investment to $32 billion.
Gilead said in September that it started work on a pharmaceutical development and manufacturing hub at its headquarters in Foster City, California, in addition to which, it is currently developing two other sites.
Cipla CIPL.NS
The Indian drugmaker is expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint by investing in capacity expansion for complex respiratory products at its advanced facilities in Fall River, Massachusetts, and Central Islip, New York.
CSL CSL.AX
Australia's CSL said in November it would invest $1.5 billion in the U.S. to manufacture plasma-derived therapies, expanding its footprint in the country over the next five years.
In March, the company announced the expansion of its plasma therapy manufacturing facility in Kankakee, Illinois, which is expected to be operational by 2031.

HYDERABAD, April 16 (Reuters) - Hetero Labs, one of India's largest privately held drugmakers, aims to sell 1.5 million pens of generic weight-loss and diabetes drugs in the first year as it rolls out the products in more than 75 countries over the next few years, a top executive said.
The Hyderabad-based company launched injectable semaglutide last month under the brand names Truglyx, Rolmodl and Moto G and plans to export to parts of Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo Nordisk's NOVOb.CO Wegovy and Ozempic, went off patent in India in March, opening the market to at least a dozen local drugmakers. Some are offering the drugs at discounts of up to 70%.
Hetero plans to launch the drug in India in April, focusing on building market share overseas to begin with, Managing Director Vamsi Krishna Bandi told Reuters in March.
Analysts estimate the global obesity drug market could reach around $100 billion by 2030.
"We are generally not first in the market. But when we come in, we come in with an extreme supply efficiency," Bandi said. He added that a monthly price of $40 to $60 was a "sweet spot" especially for emerging markets.
Hetero, known for low-cost HIV drugs, will first target smaller markets such as Kenya, Uganda, Cambodia and Vietnam before expanding to larger ones including Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and North Africa, Bandi said.
The company is also seeking to enter Canada with generic weight-loss drugs, subject to regulatory approval.
"Canada is the biggest market, but that is having its own regulatory challenges, so hopefully in the next 12 to 18 months those will open," he said.
Larger rival Dr Reddy's REDY.NS has said it aims to sell 12 million pens in its first year, while smaller players such as MSN Laboratories is eyeing sales of 100,000 units in the maiden year in India.

Indian clinics market pre-wedding weight-loss packages with Mounjaro and Wegovy
India obesity drugs market seen reaching $860.34 million by 2030
Drug regulator raises concerns over potential misuse as local drugmakers launch cheaper weight-loss drugs
By Rishika Sadam
HYDERABAD, India, April 3 (Reuters) - Soon-to-be brides and grooms seeking shortcuts to shed pounds before the big day have become the latest consumer target for weight-loss drugs in India.
New Delhi wellness clinic Klarity Skin Clinic touts a "Mounjaro bride" package, while other clinics have woven weight-loss injections into "pre-wedding" transformation packages typically focused on skin treatments and hairstyle makeovers.
In a social media video, Klarity offers "guided nutrition, Mounjaro and smart workouts" to prepare brides to walk down the aisle. The clinic did not respond to a request for comment.
Eight doctors interviewed by Reuters said they have been fielding inquiries from brides, and some grooms, about taking weight-loss drugs before taking their vows. Many asked for Eli Lilly's LLY.N Mounjaro, the first GLP-1 medication to enter India's market for both diabetes and weight loss. It has become more sought after than Novo Nordisk's NOVOb.CO rival Wegovy, the doctors said.
"Over the last few months, over 20% of the queries we've received for obesity injections are from to-be brides, who also openly give us a timeline on how soon they are getting married," said Rajat Goel, a bariatric surgeon at Hindivine Healthcare in New Delhi.
He said he prescribed the drugs only if patients were medically eligible, not for cosmetic use.
TRADITION AND SOCIETAL PRESSURE
Weddings in India are grand affairs for families that can afford them, with culture and tradition exerting a strong influence. Many marriages continue to be arranged by families, often bringing expectations around physical appearance and financial status.
Aditi, a 26-year-old finance worker from Mumbai, consulted a doctor in November for a weight-loss prescription after exercise and diet failed to get the desired results.
"When I see the result, I feel happy,” Aditi said about losing 10 kilograms (22 pounds) on Mounjaro before her February wedding. "If I am not happy, I don't feel confident. I did not want to feel that way at the time of the wedding."
She is one of the half a dozen brides, and one groom, who spoke to Reuters about pre-wedding use of weight-loss drugs, but asked not to use their family names due to social stigmas. They cited societal pressure to look a "certain way" at their wedding and most had discontinued the injections soon after.
Novo and Lilly launched their obesity drugs in India last year. The market is forecast to reach 80 billion rupees ($851.79 million) by 2030. Mounjaro sales doubled in the months after launch, making it the highest-selling drug in the world's most populous nation.
Indian drugmakers began selling cheaper versions of Novo's medicine last month after the patent on semaglutide, its active ingredient, expired, widening access.
The drugs are intended for adults classified as obese, or for those considered overweight with a weight-related medical condition such as diabetes, hypertension or sleep apnea.
"Mounjaro has been approved by regulators for specific medical indications and is intended to be used only under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional," Lilly said in a statement.
The lowest Mounjaro injection pen dose sells for 13,125 rupees ($139.50) per month in India, while the highest dose costs 25,781 rupees.
Novo, which this week cut prices of Ozempic and Wegovy for the second time, is selling the lowest Wegovy dose for 5,660 rupees ($60.90) and the highest for 16,400 rupees a month.
Novo said it discourages any form of self-medication of semaglutide or deviation from the indicated use on label.
CHEAPER DRUGS, MISUSE CONCERNS
India could have more than 440 million overweight or obese people by 2050, one of the world's highest totals, according to The Lancet.
Akshitha, who got married in Hyderabad last year, said the drugs helped her shed 15 kg (33 pounds), taking her weight to 76 kg before the wedding. A family doctor had suggested she try the injections when she worried about her weight, she said.
"There's so much chaos before the wedding, with all the planning and preparation. I knew I would not get time to go to the gym and be on a diet. That's when these drugs looked like a better option," she said, adding she might consider using them again after a future pregnancy.
With local drugmakers flooding the market with cheaper weight-loss medicines, India's drugs regulator has raised concerns about misuse and intensified scrutiny of unauthorized sales and promotion.
"We understand the curiosity, but this cannot be a quick fix," said Dr. Swati Pradhan, founder of obesity and metabolic wellness clinic Live Light.
Pradhan said she prescribed the injections to only a few soon-to-be brides if they were medically eligible and showed signs of other medical issues, while insisting on lifestyle changes for sustainable results.
For 27-year-old Priya, a tech worker from Bengaluru, weight-loss drugs became a way to counter body-shaming from prospective grooms' families.
"I've had men and their families reject my proposal because of my weight. I was told I was fat," Priya told Reuters.
She initially used Novo's oral semaglutide, approved in India for diabetes, as an off-label treatment and lost more than 12 kg before switching to injectable Mounjaro.
Her search for a groom continues.

March 31 (Reuters) - Novo Nordisk NOVOb.CO has again cut the prices of its blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss drugs Ozempic and Wegovy by up to 36% and 48% in India, to fend off competition from cheaper generics made by local drugmakers.
India's market for diabetes and weight-loss drugs is set for a shake-up after the Danish drugmaker's patent on semaglutide, the active component in Ozempic and Wegovy, expired on March 20.
At least half a dozen Indian drugmakers, including Dr Reddy's REDY.NS, Zydus ZYDU.NS and Sun Pharma SUN.NS, launched multiple brands of the blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss drugs, up to 70% cheaper than Novo's drugs in some cases.
Ozempic's and Wegovy's lowest doses of 0.25 mg in India will now be priced at 1,415 rupees ($15.04) for a weekly shot from 2,200 rupees and 2,712 rupees earlier, respectively, Novo Nordisk India said in a statement on Tuesday.
The average price reduction across doses is 23.8% for Ozempic and 27% for Wegovy, it said.
"We've heard from patients and doctors, and we're acting on that feedback," said Vikrant Shrotriya, managing director at Novo Nordisk India, adding that the drugs also offer cardiovascular benefits.
The entry of generics will also challenge Novo and U.S. rival Eli Lilly LLY.N, which launched its blockbuster diabetes and obesity drugs in India last year, as they seek to cement their position in the country.
Lilly's Mounjaro became India's top-selling drug by value within months of its launch, according to data from Pharmarack, a research firm.
Novo's Ozempic is available in three dose strengths of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg and 1 mg in India, while Wegovy has five dose strengths.
Ozempic's and Wegovy's 1 mg weekly shot is now priced at 2,275 rupees ($24.18) after price cuts of 18.5% and 34.2%, respectively. The company slashed Wegovy's 0.5 mg dose price by 41.5% to 2,025 rupees.
"..this price reduction reflects how innovation can become more accessible when market dynamics evolve," Venu Gopal Pareek, a bariatric surgeon said, adding that patients might choose Novo's drugs over generics given that it is an original molecule, and if the price difference is not beyond 15%.
Last year, Novo slashed Wegovy's price for the first time by up to 37% from its launch price, anticipating stiff competition from local drugmakers.

Adds background, details from statement
March 24 (Reuters) - India's drug regulator has tightened surveillance against the unauthorised sale and promotion of weight-loss drugs, the health ministry said on Tuesday, after local drugmakers launched cheaper generic versions of Ozempic and Wegovy over the weekend.
At least half a dozen Indian drugmakers, including Dr Reddy's REDY.NS, Zydus ZYDU.NS and Sun Pharma SUN.NS, launched multiple brands of the blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss drugs, up to 70% cheaper than Novo Nordisk's drugs in some cases, after the patent for semaglutide expired last week.
Semaglutide is the active component in Ozempic and Wegovy.
The patent expiry had triggered concerns about misuse and confusion among prescribers as costs fall sharply.
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) conducted inspections at 49 entities across the country, including drug wholesalers, retailers, and slimming clinics, the statement said.
It focused on identifying violations related to unauthorised sale, improper prescription practices, and misleading marketing, the statement said, adding that notices were sent to defaulting entities.
"These drugs, when used without proper medical supervision, may lead to serious adverse effects and related health risks," the statement said, adding that there have been concerns regarding their on-demand availability across various platforms.
Earlier this month, the CDSCO also warned pharmaceutical companies against direct or indirect advertising of weight-loss medicines, including obesity awareness campaigns that could act as surrogate promotions.
Analysts had expected more than 40 Indian drugmakers to launch over 50 brands after patent expiry, as they race to grab a share of the market that could grow to 80 billion rupees ($852.62 million) by 2030 from about 15 billion rupees today, according to research firm Pharmarack.

Adds background, details from statement
March 24 (Reuters) - India's drug regulator has tightened surveillance against the unauthorised sale and promotion of weight-loss drugs, the health ministry said on Tuesday, after local drugmakers launched cheaper generic versions of Ozempic and Wegovy over the weekend.
At least half a dozen Indian drugmakers, including Dr Reddy's REDY.NS, Zydus ZYDU.NS and Sun Pharma SUN.NS, launched multiple brands of the blockbuster diabetes and weight-loss drugs, up to 70% cheaper than Novo Nordisk's drugs in some cases, after the patent for semaglutide expired last week.
Semaglutide is the active component in Ozempic and Wegovy.
The patent expiry had triggered concerns about misuse and confusion among prescribers as costs fall sharply.
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) conducted inspections at 49 entities across the country, including drug wholesalers, retailers, and slimming clinics, the statement said.
It focused on identifying violations related to unauthorised sale, improper prescription practices, and misleading marketing, the statement said, adding that notices were sent to defaulting entities.
"These drugs, when used without proper medical supervision, may lead to serious adverse effects and related health risks," the statement said, adding that there have been concerns regarding their on-demand availability across various platforms.
Earlier this month, the CDSCO also warned pharmaceutical companies against direct or indirect advertising of weight-loss medicines, including obesity awareness campaigns that could act as surrogate promotions.
