Hims & Hers to Bring Generic Semaglutide to Canada

CANADA, JUL 8 – Aflivu is Apotex's first ophthalmic biosimilar and offers a cost-effective treatment option for multiple retinal diseases, supporting improved care for Canadian patients, officials said.

  • Hims & Hers announced on Wednesday that it will offer a generic version of semaglutide in Canada, planning expansion by 2026.
  • The expansion follows Ozempic's patent expiry on January 4, which opens the Canadian market for generic semaglutide by multiple manufacturers.
  • Hims & Hers plans to offer affordable generic semaglutide by providing continuous access to licensed healthcare professionals and delivering personalized treatment at scale via its online services.
  • Andrew Dudum emphasized their commitment to making the treatment widely available by offering affordable options alongside reliable, customized care on a large scale.
  • This move may increase semaglutide demand and lower prices in Canada, where the 2024 market generated $1.18 billion in revenue.
