Biocon denosumab biosimilars have secured a major regulatory win, with Health Canada granting a Notice of Compliance (NOC) for two of the company’s products—Bosaya and Vevzuo—on April 3, 2026.
The approval marks a significant step as Biocon strengthens its footprint in global biosimilars markets and expands access to critical bone health therapies.
Bosaya (denosumab), referencing Prolia, has been approved as a 60 mg/mL injection for subcutaneous use in a prefilled syringe.
Vevzuo (denosumab), referencing Xgeva, received approval as a 120 mg/1.7 mL (70 mg/mL) injection for subcutaneous use in a single-dose vial. These commonly used formulations are expected to support easier administration and broader patient access.
