The company said the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) had earlier approved the manufacturing and marketing of the Semaglutide injection for the treatment of both Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Obesity indications.

Zydus stated that, unlike existing treatment options that require patients to purchase multiple single-dose pens during dose titration, it is offering a reusable multi-dose pen device. This innovation allows patients and clinicians to select and administer different dose strengths from a single pen, which the company claims will improve adherence, enhance convenience, and reduce overall treatment costs. The semaglutide injection will be available in a 15 mg/3 ml cartridge and will be manufactured at Zydus Biotech Park in Ahmedabad. The company said the average monthly cost of therapy is expected to be around Rs 2,200.

Citing the International Diabetes Federation, it noted that 8.9 crore adults in India are living with diabetes, representing 10.5% of the adult population. The company further pointed out a sharp rise in obesity prevalence among adults, increasing by 91% in women and 146% in men, underscoring the growing burden of lifestyle-related diseases in the country.

Aerolife Mini is India?s first portable and foldable spacer, designed for convenience and ease of use. The device has been launched under an exclusive licensing agreement with AeroDel Technology Innovations.

According to the company, India faces a growing burden of chronic respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and bronchiectasis, driven by factors such as rising air pollution, smoking, recurrent infections, and delayed diagnosis. Millions of patients rely on long-term inhaled therapies to control symptoms and maintain quality of life.

While inhaled medications are central to treatment, effective delivery remains a challenge. Real-world studies indicate that nearly 94% of patients make at least one critical inhaler technique error, reducing drug efficacy. Spacer devices improve lung deposition by reducing coordination errors, but most existing products are bulky, difficult to transport, and require repeated assembly, limiting adherence.

Aerolife Mini? addresses these limitations with a compact, foldable, ready-to-use design, aiming to improve drug deposition, enhance compliance, boost patient confidence, and provide greater convenience.

This launch aligns with Zydus Lifesciences?s long-term strategy of building innovation-led, patient-centric respiratory franchises.
