Ozempic, Mounjaro and the rise of lookism: Why young Indians are risking it all to lose weight | Eye News

Published by Parlour News

For years, 28-year-old Aditi has learnt to shrink herself in social spaces and mute herself from conversations, a desperate act to invisibilise herself. “Only my body was visible to others, not my mind. Nobody was concerned about my health or how my hormones swung wild and moody because of PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and a competitive work life. They would instead judge me for being careless. All through my adult years, I only listened: ‘Have you gained weight this month?’ or ‘Your face is looking rounder, try a detox drink, buy a tummy twister, go on so and so diet.’ There was fashion advice to hide my belly bump. So, when my mother chose a champagne-coloured mermaid lehenga for my wedding, thinking it would make me look slim in the photos, she had not thought of the challenge of slipping into it,” she says. Instead of feeling joyful, her midriff sat heavy on her chest as Aditi walked into a beauty and wellness clinic near her West Delhi home to clear up her acne, another …

Last Updated:March 06, 2026, 07:30 IST From Semaglip, Sematop, Semakind to Semastrike, Semaglyn and Semaril, the pipeline of upcoming Ozempic copycats reads like variations of the semaglutide molecule itself Boxes of Ozempic and Wegovy made by Novo Nordisk are seen at a pharmacy. File pic/Reuters If there is one prefix that is likely to dominate prescriptions in India over the coming months, it may well be “Sema”. With key patents around semaglutide—the blockbuster molecule behind drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—set to expire in India next week, Indian pharmaceutical companies are ready to introduce their own versions. Industry insiders say more than 50 brands are preparing for launch, and a curious pattern is emerging: most of them begin with the same four letters. From Semaglip, Sematop, Semakind, Semester, Semaglide, and Semalup to Semastrike, Semaglyn, Semaril, Semapride, Semalup, and Semalix, the pipeline of upcoming copycat versions of Ozempic reads almost like variations on the original molecule—semaglutide. In fact, industry estimates suggest around 80–85 per cent of brands preparing for launch start with “Sema”, reflecting how companies anchor …

Months after launching its weight-loss drug, Danish pharmaceutical giant Novo Nordisk launched its injectable semaglutide for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes last week. It will cost between Rs 8,800 a month for the lowest dose to Rs 11,175 a month for the highest dose. The drug was first approved for the treatment of diabetes in 2017 by the US Food and Drug Administration. However, it soon gained popularity for the significant weight loss it led to, with physicians prescribing it off-label to patients struggling with obesity. In 2021, the FDA officially approved Wegovy — a higher-dose version of semaglutide — as treatment for chronic weight management. While semaglutide — and its successor tirzepatide — took the world by storm, both entered the Indian market only in 2025. The Indian Express spoke to endocrinologists, Dr Shashank Joshi of Lilavati Hospital, Mumbai, and Dr AG Unnikrishnan of Pune’s Chellaram Diabetes Institute. Patients are concerned about continuing the drug indefinitely. Can the dosage be tapered down? Dr Unnikrishnan: Diabetes and obesity are chronic conditions for which people …
