Question · Q3 2026
Abdul Qadir Puranwala asked about the launch timelines for Semaglutide in India and other international markets, the current cartridge capacity, and the updated timelines and internal estimates for biosimilars like Denosumab, Rituximab, and Abatacept.
Answer
CEO Erez Israeli outlined Semaglutide launches: India on March 21st, Canada between February and May, and Brazil/Turkey around July, with registrations in over 80 markets. The current cartridge capacity is 12 million, with plans for expansion. He noted Rituximab's U.S. launch delay primarily impacts partner Fresenius, while Denosumab's U.S. approval is delayed by at least six months. Abatacept's U.S. IV approval is expected by end of calendar 2026, and sub-Q by Jan/Feb 2028, with no impact from other biosimilar issues.
