Drug-maker Sanofi's vaccines division Sanofi Pasteur has formalised a marketing and distribution agreement with Pune's Emcure Pharmaceuticals for its anti-rabies vaccine, Verorab.
The product will be imported and supplied by Sanofi Pasteur India Private Ltd and marketed and distributed by Emcure through its subsidiary, Zuventus Healthcare, a Sanofi note said.
The two companies will work together to raise awareness on rabies vaccination at the general practitioner and physician level – the first point of contact for patients and caregivers in case of rabies exposure risk.
Zuventus Healthcare will now promote Verorab across the country to over 60,000 physicians and general practitioners.
Verorab, a purified Vero cell rabies vaccine, was launched by Sanofi Pasteur in 1987 in India. Since then, more than 25 million doses of Verorab have been distributed in the country, the company said.
