AstraZeneca Pharma India announced that in 2016 the company had entered into a distribution services agreement with Sun Pharma Laboratories (Sun Pharma) for the distribution of Dapagliflozin, an innovative Type 2 diabetes medicine, in India. Under the said Agreement, Sun Pharma promoted and distributed Dapagliflozin under the brand name “Oxra®”.
