Liraglutide: A Groundbreaking Medication for Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Obesity

Liraglutide is an innovative GLP-1 receptor agonist used to treat type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity. By increasing insulin release from the pancreas and reducing the production of excess glucagon, Liraglutide helps control blood sugar and manage weight effectively.

In 2024, Biocon Limited became the first generics company to receive regulatory approval for Liraglutide in the UK to treat diabetes and obesity, marking a significant milestone. This approval underscores Biocon’s expertise in producing complex peptides and delivering affordable, high-quality medications to patients worldwide.
