Russia's Polysan to invest $60 million in localization of Bayer's anticoagulant drug

13 December 2018

Russian drugmaker Polysan will invest about 4 billion roubles (~$60 million) in the establishment of full-cycle production of a drug from German pharma major Bayer (BAYN: DE), according to the company, reports The Pharma Letter’s local correspondent.

As part of these plans, the production of the anticoagulant drug Xarelto (rivaroxaban)will be established at the facilities of Polysan, a top-ten Russian pharmaceutical producer, in St Petersburg.

According to Russian analysts, Xarelto is a relatively new drug on the Russian market that will have to withstand serious competition from similar drugs of some major competitors.
