FACTBOX-Indian drugmakers flood market with cheaper versions of Novo's Ozempic, Wegovy
March 23 (Reuters) - At least half a dozen Indian generic drugmakers launched cheaper versions of Novo Nordisk's NOVOb.CO blockbuster diabetes drug Ozempic and weight‑loss drug Wegovy over the weekend, at globally unmatched prices and slashing treatment costs by about 70%.
The patent for semaglutide, the active ingredient in Novo's drugs, expired in India last week, paving the way for drugmakers to flood the market with dozens of brands.
Analysts expect more than 40 Indian drugmakers to launch over 50 cheaper variants.
Large Indian drugmakers are racing to capture a share of the global obesity market, projected to be worth about $100 billion by the end of the decade. They are eyeing overseas markets, including Canada, Brazil, Latin America, and Turkey, for future launches.
Here is a list of Indian drugmakers that have launched generic semaglutide in recent days:
SUN PHARMACEUTICAL SUN.NS
India's largest drugmaker by revenue launched semaglutide injectable under the brand name Noveltreat for chronic weight management in five dose strengths from 0.25 mg to 2.4 mg and Sematrinity in two dose strengths for type 2 diabetes.

DR REDDY'S LABORATORIES REDY.NS
The Hyderabad-based drugmaker launched semaglutide under the brand name Obeda for diabetes in 2 mg and 4 mg dose strengths in a disposable pen device format. Each pen of both strengths will deliver a minimum of four weekly doses and cost about 4200 rupees ($44.73) per month, the company said.
ZYDUS LIFESCIENCES ZYDU.NS
The company launched generic injectable semaglutide under three different brand names- Semaglyn, Mashema, and Alterme - for diabetes and obesity treatment in a reusable pen device. The average monthly cost of the treatment will be approximately 2,200 rupees ($23.43), the company said.
TORRENT PHARMACEUTICALS TORP.NS
The company launched an oral and injectable semaglutide drug under the brand names Sembolic and Semalix. The starting price for the injectable drugs would be 3,999 rupees ($42.59) per month, the company said.
GLENMARK PHARMACEUTICALS GLEN.NS
Glenmark launched injectable semaglutide, branded as GLIPIQ, in vial and pen formats for diabetes treatment. The vial is estimated to cost around 1,300 to 1,760 rupees for a month's usage. ($13.84-$18.74).
ALKEM LABORATORIES ALKE.NS
The company said its semaglutide, launched under three brand names - Semasize, Obesema, and Hepaglide - will be available in a pre-filled disposable injection pen and cost starting at 1,800 rupees ($19.17) per month.
ERIS LIFESCIENCES ERIS.NS
The company launched generic semaglutide in a vial format named 'Sundae.' The starting price for the multi-dose vials is 1,290 rupees ($13.74) per month. Eris is also in partnership with Natco Pharma NATP.NS, which has also launched its own generic semaglutide, for commercial manufacturing of the drug.

Health Rounds: Clopidogrel better than aspirin for preventing heart attacks and strokes

By Nancy Lapid
Sept 3 (Reuters) - The commonly prescribed blood thinner clopidogrel should replace aspirin as a routine pill for preventing heart attacks and strokes in people who already have at least some degree of heart disease, researchers reported at the European Society of Cardiology Congress.
Pooled data on nearly 29,000 patients with coronary artery disease who had participated in seven earlier randomized trials showed that those taking clopidogrel had a 14% lower risk of major adverse cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events, including heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death, compared to those taking aspirin, during an average follow-up of 5.5 years.
“These results suggest that clopidogrel should be considered the preferred long-term antiplatelet medication for patients with established coronary artery disease,” the researchers said.
Clopidogrel is the generic name of the widely used blood clot preventer Plavix, sold by Bristol Myers Squibb BMY.N and Sanofi SASY.PA. Several companies sell generic clopidogrel including Aurobindo Pharma ARBN.NS, Sun Pharma SUN.NS and Teva Pharmaceuticals TEVA.TA.
Rates of anticoagulant-related side effects like ulcers and major bleeding were similar between the two drugs, dispelling concerns that clopidogrel might lead to more bleeding complications, the researchers said.
The researchers said their analysis included many types of patients and subgroups to ensure the findings, which were also published in The Lancet, applied broadly.
“Even patients who might respond less well to clopidogrel due to genetic or clinical factors still benefited from its use over aspirin,” the researchers said in a statement.
Because clopidogrel is widely available and inexpensive, the study’s findings have the potential to influence clinical guidelines worldwide and improve patient outcomes, the researchers said.
RECYCLED PACEMAKERS IMPROVE ACCESS IN LOW-INCOME NATIONS
Cardiac pacemaker devices can be reconditioned to provide new hope for patients in low- and middle-income countries, researchers said at the ESC meeting in Madrid.
In Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Nigeria, Paraguay, Sierra Leone and Venezuela, 306 patients with a life expectancy of at least two years, a clear medical need for pacemaker therapy and no financial means to acquire one were randomly assigned to receive a reconditioned pacemaker or a new pacemaker.
The researchers’ primary concern was that reconditioned devices, which had been removed from other patients, might transmit infections when re-implanted.
A year after the pacemakers were implanted, the incidence of procedure-related infections was 1.6% for those in the reconditioned pacemaker group and 3.1% for those who got new devices. The results demonstrate that the older devices were non-inferior to new ones, the researchers said in a statement.
There were no device malfunctions in either group.
The study was conducted by doctors at the University of Michigan-based Project My Heart Your Heart, which collects pacemakers removed from cadavers by funeral directors.
“Patients in many low- and middle-income countries still have very limited access to cardiac pacing despite its routine use in higher-income countries,” study leader Dr. Thomas Crawford from the University of Michigan said in a statement.
“Indeed, access to pacemaker implantation is around 200-fold lower in Africa than in Europe," Crawford said.
Project My Heart Your Heart developed a comprehensive protocol for cleaning, functional testing and sterilizing reconditioned devices, and has U.S. approval for their export to countries whose governments have provided permission for pacemaker importation, he added.

India's Torrent Pharma to acquire controlling stake in JB Chem and Pharma
Torrent to acquire 46.39% stake in JB Chemicals from KKR
Deal values JB Pharma at $3.01 billion on fully diluted basis
Merger aims to strengthen Torrent's presence in India
By Abu Sultan and Mrinmay Dey
June 29 (Reuters) - India's Torrent Pharmaceuticals TORP.NS said on Sunday it will acquire a 46.39% controlling stake in smaller peer JB Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals JBCH.NS from New York-based investment firm KKR KKR.N, and plans to merge the two drugmakers.
The transaction, announced in a joint statement released by the three companies, implies a total equity valuation of 256.89 billion rupees ($3.01 billion) for JB Pharma on a fully diluted basis.
"This strategic alignment furthers our goal of strengthening our presence in the Indian pharma market, and building a larger diversified global presence," Torrent Executive Chairman Samir Mehta said in the statement.
Under the terms of the deal, Torrent will initially acquire an equity stake in JB Pharma from KKR for 119.17 billion rupees.
Following this, Torrent will launch a mandatory open offer to acquire up to an additional 26% of JB Pharma shares from public shareholders at 1,639.18 rupees per share.
Torrent also signaled its intent to acquire up to 2.80% of equity shares from certain JB Pharma employees, the company said.
The second phase of the transaction involves a merger of Torrent and JB Pharma through a scheme of arrangement. Upon merger, JB Pharma shareholders will receive 51 Torrent shares for every 100 JB Pharma shares held.
KKR also confirmed the deal in a separate statement.
"We are confident that the combined strengths of our organizations will unlock greater opportunities to enhance healthcare access across our markets," said JB Pharma CEO Nikhil Chopra.
India is Torrent's biggest market by revenue, where it competes with peers such as Mankind Pharma MNKI.NS.
Torrent offers drugs used to treat cancer, infections and diabetes, and has benefited from steady demand for its specialty and chronic illness drugs.
For the January-March quarter, its consolidated net profit was up 11% from a year earlier.
JB Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals, meanwhile, reported higher fourth-quarter profit in May.
Along with the steady market for its gastrointestinal medicines, Metrogyl and Sporlac, the company also benefitted from demand for its drugs that treat chronic conditions such as hypertension.
