Cancer Revlimid Generic In Canada Dr. Reddy’s, Natco Pharma Launch, Drug

The generic blood cancer tablet has been released in Canada by Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. and Natco Pharma Ltd.

According to their exchange filings, the Canadian companies of both medication producers have introduced the Revlimid generic lenalidomide capsules. The usage of this medicine is for the treatment of multiple myeloma — plasma-cell cancer and the second most often utilised kind of blood carcinogen.

The pills are available in 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, 15 mg, 20mg, and 25 mg dosages, both reddy-lenalidomide and naturelenalidomide, according to the application.

Sales of Revlimid across the globe are worth $7.6 billion (Rs 55,540.1 crore), of which Canada accounts for $400-500 million (about Rs 2,923.2-3,654 crore), according to Abdulkader Puranwala, research analyst at Anand Rathi.

Glenn Ikeda, chief executive officer at Natco Pharma (Canada) Inc., and Vinod Ramachandran, vice president and general manager at Dr. Reddy’s Lab Canada, in the filing, said their launches would provide an accessible treatment option and alleviate the financial burden by providing affordable medicines to myeloma patients, as well as public and private players.

According to Joe Kamel, registered pharmacist at Pure Health Pharmacy in Barrie, Ontario, as a self-administered capsule, lenalidomide is an important therapy for Canadian patients whose lives are critically impacted by a variety of myeloma-related events and symptoms.

Natco Pharma, in its filing, said about 7,400 Canadians are living with or are in remission from myeloma and every day, nine are diagnosed with the disease. Shares of Dr. Reddy’s and Natco Pharma were trading 2.52% and 4.62% higher as of 1 p.m. on Thursday compared with a 0.66% gain in the Nifty 50.
