One of the company&#8217;s key strategic focuses in 2026 is the field of obesity treatment, and with a new group of products, Galenika rounded off a unique concept that combines modern therapy and nutritional support within a multidisciplinary approach to obesity treatment. <\/strong><strong>This year, Galenika launched the Oli-support line of dietary supplements, designed to provide nutritional support for people working to reduce their body weight, as part of a comprehensive approach alongside Olire\u00ae (liraglutide).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Compared to the same period last year, in the first half of 2026, Galenika achieved sales growth of 11 percent in Serbia, 8 percent in the region and even 18 percent in the European Union market.
