Bofanglutide blend of convenience, efficacy positions Lupin alongside global weight-loss players in India
The piece reports that Lupin has entered an exclusive distribution agreement in India for Bofanglutide, a novel fortnightly GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by China’s Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals to treat type-2 diabetes and support weight management. The twice-monthly dosing could offer greater convenience compared with existing weekly therapies like semaglutide and tirzepatide, and early clinical data suggest strong efficacy in weight loss and HbA1c reduction. While enthusiasm for GLP-1 drugs grows in India’s expanding metabolic health market, adoption will depend on affordability and completion of ongoing Phase 3 trials. The article positions Lupin’s move as a strategic play to compete with global diabetes and weight-loss drug makers in the fast-growing segment.

But after he woke up, the family members noticed that the left side of his body was completely paralyzed. He could not stand up, nor could he do anything with his left hand. The child was quickly taken to the doctor. On the doctor's advice, an MRI and CT scan were done. It was seen that the left side of the child's brain was not receiving enough blood. Although the problem was detected at that time, the doctors could not be sure about the disease.
