Dr Reddy's Capsules Launch

Drug firm Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd on Friday (3 May) said it launched doxycycline capsules, 40 mg in the US market, a therapeutic generic equivalent of ORACEA (doxycycline, USP) capsules.

The doxycycline capsules, 40 mg, were approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) and are supplied in bottle counts of 30.

Each capsule contains 26 mg immediate-release pellets and 14 mg delayed-release pellets equivalent to 40 mg of anhydrous doxycycline, USP.

Last month, Dr Reddy's Laboratories voluntarily recalled six lots of medication from the US market, indicated to reduce blood phenylalanine (Phe) levels, on account of being subpotent.

The company is recalling lots of sapropterin dihydrochloride powder for oral solution 100 mg to the consumer level due to powder discolouration in some packets leading to decreased potency.

The issue was discovered during an accelerated stability test in addition to customer complaints, it added. Reduced efficacy of the product would result in elevated Phe levels in patients.

Chronically elevated Phe levels in infants and children are likely to cause permanent neurocognitive deficits, including permanent and irreversible intellectual disability, developmental delay, and seizures.

BSE, NSE spar over derivatives markets

India's top stock exchanges are luring investors with new products and lower fees as they battle for a share of the hot but fledgling derivatives market, in turn fuelling a surge in trading activity that is drawing regulatory scrutiny.

The larger National Stock Exchange of India and its older rival BSE are wrestling for dominance in derivatives, particularly the raging options market spurred by the introduction last year of short-term contracts that can be traded with borrowed funds.

The monthly notional value of derivatives traded on Indian exchanges exploded to an eye-popping 8,737 trillion rupees (US$ 104.65 trillion) in March 2024, more than double that of a year earlier.

The NSE plans to launch options contracts based on key sectoral indices, including the pharmaceutical and IT indices if it gets the regulatory go-ahead.

In April, it launched option contracts on a Nifty Next 50 index of the 50 largest stocks which are not in the benchmark Nifty index.

It has reduced transaction fees and a wider review to further reduce charges is underway, said the sources.

Not to be left behind, the BSE plans to launch options contracts based on indices of the top 50 and top 100 companies by market value.
