West Expands Partnership with Venus Remedies to Launch Safe Syringes in India

West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (West), a provider of innovative solutions for injectable drug administration, has recently announced its partnership with domestic Indian pharma company Venus Remedies Ltd. whose brand Cloti-Xa™ has made its introduction in the growing low molecular weight heparin market and has adopted the NovaGuard® SA Pro safety system, a single-use accessory for prefilled ISO standard 1mL long staked-needle syringes. 

Mr. Alagu Subramaniam, Managing Director, West India said, “We at West are committed to improving patients’ health and are excited to extend our partnership with Venus Remedies on this new product launch, by delivering unique and innovative packaging products and services. This partnership helps us bring the benefits of our innovative NovaGuard® SA Pro safety system to the India market, and we will continue to extend the range of our innovative solutions to local customers and patients worldwide.”

Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Saransh Chaudhary, Chief Executive Officer Venus Medicine Research Centre said, “We are delighted to enter into a partnership with West to produce Cloti-Xa™ PFS with the innovative NovaGuard® SA Pro safety system in India. Cloti-Xa™ is expected to provide patients and healthcare providers with an additional advantage of safety from accidental needlestick injuries, which could lead to the spread of infections like HIV and Hepatitis B and C. So far, no other enoxaparin formulation in India seems to offer this additional benefit apart from the innovator brand. Enoxaparin use has increased significantly in ICUs after it has been found useful in reducing hospitalization and mortality in COVID-19 patients. I am positive that it is going to be a high yielding addition to our portfolio, and we intend to add more such innovative products into our product line.”
