Dengue drug maker gets enquiries from abroad
The rise in the number of dengue cases this year has created an opportunity for Micro Labs. About 200,000 units of the company’s Caripill drug, used to increase blood platelet count, have already been sold.
The company, which has received supply enquiries for the drug from Indonesia and Malaysia, plans to introduce a syrup form for children soon. Micro Labs started marketing the medicine in July. It says it conducted trials on 250 patients, adding none needed platelet transfusion. Priced at Rs 375 for a five-day course of 15 tablets (a unit), Caripill is primarily being marketed in the Delhi National Capital Region, Maharashtra and south Indian states, where many cases of dengue have been reported.
