Health Canada says Svemia is for the once-weekly treatment of people 12 and over, as a supplement to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management.

It's the third generic semaglutide product approved by the department, though the first two were authorized for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults.

Generic versions of Novo Nordisk's Ozempic by India-based Dr. Reddy's Laboratories and Apotex were approved earlier this year.

Health Canada says it's reviewing six other submissions for generic semaglutide from different companies and expects to make more decisions in the coming weeks and months.
