Ozempic Is About to Go Generic for Billions of People

This will be huge. Companies like Hims and Ro charge thousands of dollars a month with drugs that don't have the patents expire. I'm hopeful this will expand the ability to receive treatment and also allow trials to be tested at greater length to understand long-term effects.

It just did. The patent expired on March 20 in India.

There are 10+ firms vying ro bring a generic glp1 anywhere the patent has expired. How effective these generics will be is yet to be seen.

This might cause a lot of problems because some people are taking glp1 for "my wedding is in 1 month and I gotta reduce 10kg by then"
