Sanofi partners with Cipla to distribute and promote its Central Nervous System product range in India

As a part of this partnership, Cipla will be responsible for the distribution of Sanofi India’s six CNS brands including Frisium, a leading brand in the anti-epileptic medication category, according to a press release.

While Sanofi India will continue to own, import, and manufacture its complete range of CNS products across plants in India and internationally, Cipla will leverage its capabilities and robust India-wide network of strong marketing and sales professionals, distributors, institutions, and market outreach programs to expand access to these treatments for patients who need them.

Sanofi India Limited Managing Director Rodolfo Hrosz said, “Sanofi India’s CNS products are leaders in their respective categories. These well-established brands already improve lives of many patients across urban centres in the country. Cipla’s wide presence will enable us to expand the reach of this portfolio to healthcare professionals and patients across all India.”

We are pleased to collaborate with Sanofi India to enhance accessibility to highly efficacious and quality therapeutic solutions in CNS and bring value to patients across the country.
