Structure and Development, Opportunities, threat and concerns:
The Indian pharmaceutical industry today is amongst the
front ranks of the country's science based industries with wide ranging
capabilities in the complex field of drug manufacture and technology. India is
fast emerging as a preferred manufacturing location. Attractive opportunities
are also emerging for Indian pharma companies in the generics markets of
developed economies.
Strong low cost Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs)
manufacturing capabilities, large number of Drug Master File Registrations and
Regulatory approved manufacturing facilities for APIs and formulations are
driving the growth in the international business of Indian pharma
companies.
Though Indian pharmaceutical market is growing at a healthy growth rate of
around 14%, poor public healthcare funding and infrastructure, poor public
healthcare insurance schemes, low per capita consumption of medicines and drug
price control regime are a few causes of concern.
Financial Performance and Operations
Review:
The Company had another successful financial year with a net
total income of Rs.9212.400 millions as against Rs.7528.200 millions in the
previous year, a growth of 22%.
The Company's focus on formulations business resulted into increase in the
overall formulation sales to Rs.6272.400 millions, an increase of 25% over
previous year formulations sales of Rs.5012.900 millions.
The overall increase in the formulation sales is mainly on account of
aggressive brand building activities undertaken by the Company in the
promotional markets of India, CIS, Africa and South East Asia. Substantial
improvement in generic formulations business in the United Kingdom also
contributed to the growth in the formulations business.
The company further expanded its therapeutic coverage with
introduction of new formulations, both in the domestic and export markets,
especially in the fast growing life style related segments such as
cardiovasculars, pain management, CNS and dermatology.
The Directors are pleased to inform that the Company's formulation brand
Zerodol which was launched in the financial year 2003-04 achieved net sales of
over Rs.250.000 millions in the domestic market during the year under report.

and South East Asia.

IPCA’S FOURTH
CLINICAL TRIAL GETS PUBLISHED IN A PEER REVIEWED JOURNAL
Hydroxychloroquine
– a drug used in the treatment of arthritis was tested for its efficacy in a
newer indication - Polymorphic light eruption, which is characterized by
lesions on the skin after exposure to UV light.
This was a comparative study of efficacy and safety of
hydroxychloroquine vs chloroquine in polymorphic light eruption.
The trial was conducted at leading medical institutions in the country; Seth G S Medical College and KEM Hospital, Mumbai
under Dr. Uday Khopkar – Head of Department of Dermatology, and Bangalore Medical College and Victoria Hospital,
Bangalore, under Dr. S. Sacchidanand – Head of Department of Dermatology.
The study included 117 patients suffering from polymorphic light
eruption and found hydroxychloroquine
to be significantly more effective than chloroquine
in the treatment of polymorphic light eruption and concluded that it can be
used safely in such patients with little risk of ocular toxicity.
This trial was published in the
January – February 2008 issue of the Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology
and Leprology.

used, for treatment of diseases such as Malaria.
The list of
prequalified medicinal products is used principally by United Nations agencies
- including UNAIDS and UNICEF - to guide their procurement decisions. But, the
list has become a vital tool for any agency or organisation involved in bulk
purchasing of medicines, be this at country level, or at international level,
as demonstrated by the Global Fund, to fight diseases such as Malaria.
