Semaglutide's Indian patent expired on March 20, 2026. Within weeks, over a dozen pharmaceutical companies launched generic versions. The market transformed overnight. A drug that cost ₹8,800–₹10,850 per month (Ozempic/Wegovy) now starts at ₹1,290.
This page is a complete reference of every semaglutide brand name available in India as of April 2026. We cover generics, originals, and other GLP-1 drugs that are sometimes confused with semaglutide.

Generic Semaglutide Brands (Injection)
These are all injectable semaglutide generics currently available in India. All contain the same active molecule — semaglutide — manufactured by Indian pharmaceutical companies under licence or after patent expiry. Prices are approximate monthly costs at maintenance dose.
| Brand Name | Manufacturer | Format | Monthly Cost (approx.) | Primary Use Case |
|---|
| Semanat | Natco Pharma | Vial | ₹1,290 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Semafull | Natco Pharma | Vial | ₹1,400 | Weight loss (higher doses) |
| Semasize | Alkem Laboratories | Pre-filled pen | ₹1,800 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Obesema | Alkem Laboratories | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,100 | Weight loss (higher doses) |
| Semaglyn | Zydus Lifesciences | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,200 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Usema | USV Limited | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,500 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Semanext | Lupin | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,600 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| GLIPIQ | Glenmark Pharmaceuticals | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,800 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Samakind | Mankind Pharma | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,900 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Sundae | Eris Lifesciences | Pre-filled pen | ₹3,000 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Noveltreat | Sun Pharma | Pre-filled pen | ₹3,200 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Sematrinity | Sun Pharma | Oral tablet | ₹750–₹1,300 | Diabetes (oral option) |
| Obeda | Dr. Reddy's Laboratories | Pre-filled pen | ₹4,200 | Weight loss |
| Semacare | Cipla | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,400 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Semaglu | Torrent Pharmaceuticals | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,700 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Semalean | Intas Pharmaceuticals | Pre-filled pen | ₹2,350 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Glupride-S | Micro Labs | Vial | ₹1,500 | Diabetes & weight loss |
| Semawin | Hetero Healthcare | Vial | ₹1,450 | Diabetes & weight loss |
Key takeaway: Vial formats (Natco, Micro Labs, Hetero) are the cheapest because they require separate insulin syringes. Pre-filled pens cost more but are easier to use. Oral tablets (Sun Pharma Sematrinity) are the most convenient but currently only approved for diabetes, not weight loss.

Original Brands (Novo Nordisk)
These are the original branded versions from Novo Nordisk, the Danish company that developed semaglutide. They remain available in India but at significantly higher prices.
| Brand Name | Manufacturer | Format | Monthly Cost (approx.) | Primary Use Case |
|---|
| Ozempic | Novo Nordisk | Pre-filled pen | ₹8,800 | Type 2 diabetes |
| Wegovy | Novo Nordisk | Pre-filled pen | ₹10,850 | Weight management |
| Rybelsus | Novo Nordisk | Oral tablet | ₹4,500 | Type 2 diabetes |
Ozempic and Wegovy contain the same molecule (semaglutide) at the same doses. The difference is branding and approved indication. Rybelsus is the oral tablet form — convenient but with lower bioavailability than injections.
With generics now available at 70–85% lower cost, most patients are switching. The clinical effect is identical. The active ingredient is the same.
Other GLP-1 Drugs (Not Semaglutide)
These are sometimes confused with semaglutide but are different molecules entirely.
| Brand Name | Drug | Manufacturer | Monthly Cost (approx.) | Key Difference |
|---|
| Mounjaro | Tirzepatide | Eli Lilly | ₹9,200 | Dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist, slightly higher weight loss |
| Victoza | Liraglutide | Novo Nordisk | ₹6,500 | Daily injection (not weekly) |
| Trulicity | Dulaglutide | Eli Lilly | ₹5,800 | Weekly, less weight loss than semaglutide |
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is the closest competitor. It targets both GIP and GLP-1 receptors and shows slightly higher average weight loss in trials (20–22% vs 15–17%). However, it remains patented and expensive. No Indian generics are expected before 2030.
How to Choose the Right Brand
With 18+ brands available, here is how to narrow your choice.
Budget tier — under ₹1,500/month: Go with vial formats. Natco Semanat (₹1,290) or Hetero Semawin (₹1,450) are the most affordable. You will need to buy insulin syringes separately (₹50–100/month). Best for patients comfortable with drawing from a vial.
Mid-range — ₹1,800–₹3,000/month: Pre-filled pens from Alkem, Zydus, Lupin, Mankind, or Eris. No syringe needed. Dial your dose and inject. Most convenient for first-time users. Alkem Semasize (₹1,800) offers the best value in this range.
Premium — ₹3,000+/month: Dr. Reddy's Obeda (₹4,200) or the original Ozempic (₹8,800). Choose these if your doctor specifically recommends them or if you want the brand with the longest clinical track record.
Oral option — ₹750–₹1,300/month: Sun Pharma Sematrinity. Currently only approved for diabetes, not weight management. If you cannot tolerate injections, ask your doctor about this option.
