Orchid pharma partnered with Cipla to launch Cefepime-Enmetazobactum in India.
This is probably one of the best thing done by Orchid in marketing new drug.
Definitely there will more interest for novel drug + known company(Cipla) than novel drug+ not a known company( Orchid), not purely based on scientific reasons though. Many professional would not have heard orchid pharma name , where as Cipla is established company with good presence, brands and already supplying many antimicrobials like Tazact(pipercillin tazobactum),Merocrit( meropenem) , Vanlid( vancomycin), Tiganex( tigecycline) etc…which are used in hospitals/critical care.
Even though Orchid has mentioned that they will be launching their own hospital division in few quarters that would have delayed the ramp up in sales and reach across the country.
