Soliqua

Soliqua is a brand of lixisenatide from Sanofi, first approved by the FDA on 2016-11-21 under application BLA208673, not separately authorised in the European Union under this name, with no open FDA supply records.

Soliqua is Sanofi's brand of lixisenatide, approved under BLA208673. The same molecule is also sold as Adlyxin — a separate application with its own approved uses and its own supply record, which is why the two are tracked apart here rather than merged. Its current FDA label, effective 2026-03-18, covers type 2 diabetes. Nothing under this name is currently on the FDA shortage list.

Soliqua and Adlyxin are the same molecule. They are marketed under separate FDA applications with different approved indications, so they are distinct products on the regulatory record even though the active ingredient is identical. Compare the applications below. Side by side: Soliqua vs Adlyxin.
