Wellgistics Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:WGRX) introduced Brenzavvy, a novel sodium‑glucose co‑transporter‑2 (SGLT‑2) inhibitor, to its network of more than 6,500 independent pharmacies on December 8, 2025. The launch targets the U.S. type 2 diabetes market, which includes roughly 33 million patients, many of whom are uninsured or underinsured and face high out‑of‑pocket costs.
The SGLT‑2 inhibitor market was valued at $16.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $28.9 billion by 2033. Wellgistics positions Brenzavvy against established competitors such as Jardiance, Farxiga, and Invokana, aiming to capture a share of this growing segment by leveraging its proprietary EinsteinRx artificial‑intelligence platform and PharmacyChain blockchain‑enabled smart‑contract system to reduce costs and improve medication adherence.
Brenzavvy’s launch is part of a broader strategy to use technology to lower patient costs. The EinsteinRx platform delivers AI‑driven education to patients and providers, while PharmacyChain’s smart‑contract framework streamlines dispensing and pricing transparency across the pharmacy network. Together, these tools are intended to make Brenzavvy more accessible to underserved patients and to differentiate Wellgistics in a crowded market.
Despite the product launch, Wellgistics reported a net operating loss of $33.9 million for Q3 2025, a sharp increase from the $1.9 million loss in Q3 2024. Management cited rising stock‑based compensation and ongoing cash‑flow challenges as key contributors to the loss, and the company has signaled concerns about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Brenzavvy launch is therefore a strategic effort to generate new revenue streams and offset the company’s financial headwinds.
President and interim CEO Prashant Patel emphasized that the launch would empower pharmacists to optimize therapy selection and reduce out‑of‑pocket costs for patients. Albert R. Collinson, PhD, CEO of TheracosBio—the original developer of Brenzavvy—highlighted the drug’s cost‑effective profile and its potential to broaden access to SGLT‑2 therapy.
The market reacted positively to the announcement, with analysts noting the launch as a significant development for Wellgistics. However, they also underscored the company’s ongoing financial challenges, indicating that the positive sentiment is tempered by concerns over the firm’s profitability and cash‑flow position.
