Lupin and Aptissen SA recently announced that they have entered into a definitive distribution agreement, under which, Aptissen has granted Lupin the exclusive rights to market, distribute and sell the current Aptissen products in Canada.

Commenting on this development, Dr. Sofia Mumtaz, President of Lupin Pharma, Canada, stated, “We are pleased to partner with Aptissen for marketing and distribution of Synolis VA, a branded product in Canada. This partnership helps us expand our product portfolio in the Canadian market.
