MUMBAI, India, September 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Cipla, a global pharmaceutical company, today announces the commercial collaboration with S&D Pharma in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This collaboration will enable Cipla to focus on its core therapy areas, while S&D Pharma will be the key partner for generics.

     (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140731/700144 )

Under the collaboration, Cipla will be driving its respiratory product portfolio in both Czech Republic and Slovakia through a Cipla owned sales force team, managed by Cipla commercial head. S&D Pharma will physically distribute all products, including respiratory products, and this portfolio will increase over the next few years.

Mr. Frank Pieters, Head Cipla Europe said, "We are excited to partner with S&D Pharma and believe that this collaboration will enable us to drive access in the Czech Republic and Slovakia across therapy areas in the coming years."

Mr. Daniel Straus, CEO S&D Pharma said, "We are delighted to extend our cooperation with such an innovative company as Cipla and to have the opportunity to further develop the Cipla brand and portfolio in our markets.  Through this collaboration we have secured a competitive and varied product pipeline for the future and very much look forward to contributing to the future success of Cipla's respiratory range."

In the near future, once the necessary regulatory and reimbursement approvals are in place, the Salmeterol-Fluticasone fixed combination will be launched in both markets under the name Fullhale. With Fullhale we will offer in Czech Republic and Slovakia an alternative which is effective and efficient and therefore brings many advantages into a market which suffers from limited resources. Fullhale will be available in a pMDI with HFA propellant in two strengths:  

1. 120 doses of 25/125 mcg salmeterol/fluticasone

2. 120 doses of 25/250 mcg salmeterol/fluticasone

Apart from Croatia where the combination is already available under the name Duohal, Cipla recently launched the product in Germany and Sweden. In Germany the product is distributed under the name "Serroflo", whereas in Sweden the combination is launched as "Salmeterol/Fluticasone Cipla".

Cipla is one of the worlds leading respiratory companies, with the largest range of drugs and devices approved and sold in over a 100 countries. In several markets, Cipla is prevalent in all therapy areas of respiratory medicine, and was also the first to launch several novel combinations, and drug/device combinations. Cipla aims to bring this global expertise in respiratory medicine to Europe, which will significantly impact the healthcare landscape with affordable and high quality inhalation therapy.

About Cipla  

Cipla is a global pharmaceutical company which uses cutting edge technology and innovation to meet the everyday needs of all patients.

Cipla's research and development focuses on developing innovative products and drug delivery systems and has given India and the world many 'firsts' for instance Triomune. In a tightly regulated environment, the company's manufacturing facilities have approvals from all the main regulators including USFDA, UKMHRA, WHO, MCC, ANVISA, and PMDA which means the company provides one universal standard both domestically and internationally.
