Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (DRL) has collaborated with Amgen, a leading biotechnology company, to market and distribute three of Amgen’s medicines in India in therapy areas of oncology and osteoporosis. Under the terms of the collaboration, DRL will commercialise XGEVA (denosumab), Vectibix (panitumumab) and Prolia (denosumab) in India.

The collaboration combines Amgen’s innovative therapies with DRL’s deep understanding of patient and physician needs in India.

These medicines provide unique treatment options to physicians to address unmet medical need in the area of oncology and osteoporosis.”
