"Our partnership with Galenicum marks a strategic milestone in strengthening Lupin's Semaglutide portfolio. As diabetes continues to escalate globally and obesity emerges as a major global health priority, Semaglutide stands out as a critical therapy. This collaboration enables us to capitalize on worldwide growth opportunities in the expanding GLP-1 market. With our extensive commercial presence across Canada, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, we are positioned to scale access at the right moment—further reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-quality, cost-effective medicines and expanding access to Semaglutide for patients in these regions," said Fabrice Egros, President, Corporate Development, Lupin.

What is Semaglutide?

Semaglutide is a generic form of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) that regulates blood sugar and appetite. It is prescribed for adults with Type 2 Diabetes alongside diet and exercise. It also supports long-term weight management in adults with obesity or overweight conditions.

"This partnership is a cornerstone of our strategy to scale high-impact volumes of Semaglutide globally. At Galenicum, we have invested heavily in our GLP-1 development pipeline to meet the surging demand for these life-changing therapies. Our goal is clear: to be a leader in the B2B GLP-1 space, providing our partners with the reliability, scale, competitiveness, and quality required to transform patient care worldwide," said Joaquim Domingo, co-founder of Galenicum.
