NEW DELHI, FEB 22, 2021: GLENMARK Pharmaceuticals on Monday said its Swiss subsidiary, Glenmark Specialty, has received marketing approval from Russian health regulators for its fixed-dose combination nasal spray, Ryaltris.
Ryaltris is indicated for symptomatic treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis, like stuffy and runny nose, nasal itching, sneezing, as well as irritated eyes, in adults and children over 12 years of age.
"Glenmark has built strong capabilities in the area of respiratory medicine and is among the leading players in this therapy area across several markets globally. Russia is one of the key markets for us and we are consistently looking to expand our product portfolio," said Csaba Kantor, Senior Vice President - Russia and CIS region, Glenmark.
