Sales of GLP-1 drugs have exploded in Canada. We may just be getting started.
Sales of Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro totaled nearly $4b in 2025. Generics come out this year.
I explore it all in a new feature that launches a series we're calling Skinny Inc: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

Novo Nordisk is ready, though, and has just received Health Canada approval for a product it says will challenge its generic competitors.

An illustration in Robert Munsch’s beloved Love You Forever didn’t seem right. I set out to discover why
