Emcure, Sanofi sign distribution pact for oral anti-diabetic products in India

Pune-based Emcure Pharmaceuticals and Sanofi India have entered into an exclusive distribution and promotion agreement for Sanofi’s oral anti-diabetic (OAD) products in India.

Emcure will exclusively distribute and promote Sanofi’s OAD range of products that include brands like Amaryl and Cetapin.
