    Wegovy, Mounjaro sales in India double on month in July

    Sales Growth of Anti-Obesity Drugs in India

    By Rishika Sadam and Kashish Tandon

    Wegovy Sales Performance

    HYDERABAD (Reuters) -Sales of Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk's Wegovy and U.S. rival Eli Lilly's Mounjaro in India doubled in July from a month earlier, data from research firm Pharmarack showed on Thursday.

    Mounjaro Sales Surge

    Demand for the blockbuster anti-obesity drugs, which help control blood sugar and slow digestion, has been on an upswing in the world's most populous nation.

    Market Dynamics and Competition

    Sales of Wegovy, launched locally in June, more than doubled to 5,000 units or 70 million rupees ($798,230) in July, the data showed.

    Mounjaro sales also doubled month-on-month to 157,000 units or 470 million rupees.

    "Though Wegovy has a strong prescriber base because of Rybelsus, substantial promotion may be needed to reach the Mounjaro patient base for the injectable market," Pharmarack's Vice President (Commercial) Sheetal Sapale said in a statement.

    In India, Novo has been selling oral semaglutide pills under the brand name Rybelsus since 2022 for type 2 diabetes.

    Mounjaro's sales have soared 15 times since March, when the drug was launched in India.
