Glenmark to commercialize six SCD eye products in North America

22 February 2018

South Korea’s Sam Chun Dang (SCD) Pharm has signed a 600 million won ($558,000) deal to license out a portfolio of six ophthalmic products to the US subsidiary of Indian drugmaker Glenmark Pharmaceuticals (BSE: 532296) for marketing the products in the USA and Canada.

Under this agreement, these products will be developed and manufactured by SCD in South Korea. Glenmark will seek all market authorizations and commercialize the products in North America.

"The agreement for these ophthalmic products is aligned with our strategy to strengthen our focus on complex generic formulations," said Robert Matsuk, president, North America & Global API at Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, adding: "Our strategic partnership with SCD supports our objective to expand the product offerings of our complex generic portfolio."
