Alkem Laboratories announced the launch of semaglutide in single-shot pre-filled syringes in multiple dose strengths at price starting Rs 350. Alkem is the first company in India to introduce semaglutide in single-shot pre-filled syringe format, expanding treatment options for patients and lowering entry barriers with its affordable pricing. The ready-to-use single shot pre-filled syringe format offers enhanced access, and convenience.
The company has received approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture and market semaglutide pre-filled syringes for the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
In March 2026, Alkem had already launched semaglutide in pre-filled disposable and reusable injection pens format in the Indian market. The company has also received regulatory approval for semaglutide vials, which will be launched soon.
