Global demand is rising
Since 1997, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized obesity as a chronic disease, followed by the American Medical Association in 2013 and the European Commission in 20211. Affecting around 890 million people worldwide2, obesity is a chronic disease that can be treated with GLP-1 drugs. They can lower the blood sugar levels of patients and control the secretion of glucagon, which increases the blood sugar. Modern drugs based on GLP-1 RA (Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist) can also curb hunger and promote slower eating.As the global demand for GLP-1-based obesity drugs rises, a reliable container supply, smooth operations, and safe and easy self-administration become crucial.
At SCHOTT Pharma, our commitment is to deliver advanced drug containment and drug delivery solutions for obesity, ensuring the safe storage and precise administration of GLP-1-based drugs. Our primary objective is to support our valued customers in meeting the growing global demand for these pharmaceuticals.

The ideal container for your GLP-1-based obesity drug
Innovative GLP-1-based drugs undergo continuous improvement. While GLP-1 RA drugs have been in the market for quite a while, new and more effective molecules are now being developed. They all have one thing in common: they consist of tiny molecules that need to be stored safely from the point of filling until administration. At SCHOTT Pharma, we are proud to cover a broad range of potential packaging solutions based on your needs.
Syringes
Prefillable syringes are a versatile solution for your GLP-1-based obesity drugs. They can be used to inject the drug directly into the body or combined with an auto-injector for an improved patient administration experience. Our dedicated syriQ BioPure® syringe is especially designed to safeguard sensitive high-value drugs and is part of the SCHOTT iQ® ready-to-use platform.
