flag Novo Nordisk launches cheaper, rebranded Ozempic and Wegovy in Canada to fight generics and improve access.

flag Novo Nordisk is exploring lower-priced, renamed versions of Ozempic and Wegovy—Plosbrio and Poviztra—for the Canadian market to counter upcoming generic semaglutide drugs. flag Health Canada has approved the submissions for these biologically identical products, which bypass the lengthy generic review process. flag In contrast, chemically synthesized generics from Sandoz, Apotex, Teva, Taro, and Aspen Pharmacare are still under evaluation. flag The move is seen as a strategic pricing tactic to maintain market share amid pressure from generics, potentially improving patient access despite high current prices. flag Most Canadian patients are covered by insurance or public plans, but uninsured individuals can still receive support through Novo Nordisk’s assistance programs.
