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®”. Sun Pharma also gained the rights to promote and distribute the combination of Dapagliflozin with Metformin under the brand name “Oxramet®” and the combination of Dapagliflozin and Saxagliptin under the brand name “Oxraduo®”.

Under the Transition Supply Agreement, Sun Pharma will continue to promote and distribute Dapagliflozin and the combinations of Dapagliflozin with Metformin under the brand Oxra and Oxramet until such period of time as mutually agreed between the parties, post which all supplies to Sun Pharma from AstraZeneca India shall cease.

AstraZeneca India will continue to independently market Dapagliflozin, the combinations of Dapagliflozin and Metformin as well as Dapagliflozin and Saxagliptin in India under the brand names “Forxiga®” “Xigduo®” and “Qtern®” respectively
