12, 2026 /CNW/ - Novo Nordisk announced today that Health Canada has approved RYBELSUS (semaglutide tablets) to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular (CV) events (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction or non-fatal stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have established cardiovascular disease or are at high risk for these events.1,2 In Canada, cardiovascular disease remains a public health challenge, with heart disease as the second leading cause of death and a leading cause of hospitalization.4 It's estimated that 9 in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for stroke, heart disease, or vascular cognitive impairment including: sex, age, diabetes, family history and Indigenous, South Asian and African family heritage.5 Health Canada's approval of this indication is based on the results of the SOUL trial.2 Trial results confirmed that the risk of a major adverse cardiovascular event (MACE) decreased with the use of RYBELSUS as compared to a placebo, when used concomitantly with standard of care treatments for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.1 "This approval marks an important milestone for type 2 diabetes patients in Canada, who are at higher risk of cardiovascular events due to the chronic disease," says Vince Lamanna, President, Novo Nordisk Canada Inc
