São Paulo, SP – October 1, 2025 – Novo Nordisk and Eurofarma today announce a strategic partnership to expand the national reach of biological injectable semaglutide in Brazil.

Under the signed agreement, Eurofarma — a pharmaceutical multinational of Brazilian origin present in 24 countries and one of the leaders in the Latin American market — will be the exclusive distributor for the marketing and promotion of two new high-quality weekly injectable semaglutide brands in the Brazilian market: Poviztra®, indicated for the treatment of obesity and overweight with associated comorbidities, and Extensior®, focused on the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

The initiative integrates the ongoing efforts of both companies to broaden the reach of these excellent, safe, and effective therapies. By joining forces with an ethical partner and a leader in medical prescriptions in Brazil, Novo Nordisk reinforces its pioneering role in the treatment of chronic diseases.
