Leading firms in the liraglutide and semaglutide markets are innovating anti-diabetic biosimilar medications to improve glucose management and mitigate heart-related issues in diabetic individuals. These anti-diabetic biosimilars, designed to provide similar health outcomes as established diabetes biologics, offer a cost-effective alternative. For example, in January 2024, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd., an Indian pharmaceutical firm, introduced a biosimilar of the widely used anti-diabetic medication, Liraglutide, marking its debut in India. This Liraglutide biosimilar aims to enhance glucose regulation in adult individuals suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its introduction implies a reduction in daily treatment expenses, making it accessible to a wider patient segment across the country. With a price point around INR 100 for a standard daily dose of 1.2 mg, it could lower treatment costs by nearly 70%, and buying it would necessitate a prescription.
