Alkem Laboratories has announced the launch of semaglutide in single-shot pre-filled syringes, becoming the first company in India to introduce the drug in this format. The product is available in multiple dose strengths with prices starting at ₹350, aiming to improve accessibility and convenience for patients managing Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.
Alkem Laboratories has expanded its semaglutide portfolio with the introduction of single-shot pre-filled syringes. The company stated that the ready-to-use format offers enhanced convenience while lowering entry barriers to semaglutide treatment through affordable pricing.
The launch marks another step in Alkem’s efforts to broaden treatment options for patients suffering from metabolic disorders.
The company has received approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture and market semaglutide pre-filled syringes for the management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, to be used alongside diet and exercise.
With this approval, Alkem becomes the first company in India to offer semaglutide in the single-shot pre-filled syringe format, providing patients and healthcare professionals with an additional drug delivery option.
In March 2026, Alkem had launched semaglutide in pre-filled disposable and reusable injection pen formats in the Indian market. The company has also secured regulatory approval for semaglutide vials, which are expected to be launched in the near future.
The addition of pre-filled syringes further expands the range of semaglutide delivery formats available through Alkem, allowing patients and doctors greater flexibility in selecting treatment options.
Commenting on the development, Dr. Vikas Gupta, Chief Executive Officer of Alkem, said that semaglutide has the potential to change how we manage metabolic disorders. With the launch of our pre-filled syringes, we are widening the choice available to doctors and patients, alongside the pen options we have already introduced. In India, where we are seeing a continuous rise in disease burden, offering multiple, practical drug delivery formats is an important step in helping more patients start and stay on the therapy.
