EXCLUSIVE: Generic versions of Ozempic are now available, marking a significant move by Dr Reddy's to address the supply issues with Obeda.

### Briefing Losing my job and getting sick have led me to reevaluate my life and make conscious decisions to fill my time meaningfully. However, the medication has some side effects, including restlessness, racing heart, and an increased need for physical activity.

Dr Reddy's, the generic drug company, has introduced new versions of the diabetes medication Ozempic, Obeda Pro and Obeda Plus, manufactured by different manufacturers. This marks a significant shift in the company's strategy, likely leading to discontinuation of supplies of the original Obeda injection due to an impurity issue. The development and launch planning for these products were already underway before the July supply disruption.
