Recently, two big medicine companies launched anti-cancer tablets in the USA. At first, Natco Pharma launched 1 mg tablets for breast cancer in the US. On the other hand, Cadila Healthcare also launched Anastrazole tablets (1 mg) for cancer in the US market.

About the launch of generic version of anastrazole, Natco Pharma said to economictimes.indiatimes.com, “It is used in treating breast cancer, in the US market.”

Further the news quotes another statement of Natco Pharma, “It has launched the drug in strength of 1 mg tablets in the US after getting US Food and Drugs Administration’s nod.”

In the next column, the news portal quotes another statement, “The product has been launched in the US through the company’s marketing partners.”

About the sales of the medicine, the news portal writes, “The estimated annual sales of anastrazole, which is patented by Astra Zeneca and sold as Arimidex, in the US is around $750 million.”

The news portal writes about the shares of the company, “Shares of Natco Pharma were trading at Rs 201.70 on the Bombay Stock Exchange on late afternoon trade, up 3.09 per cent from its previous close.”

On the other hand, the news portal quotes a statement of Cadila Healthcare’s Anastrazole tablets (1 mg), “Cadila Healthcare has launched Anastrazole tablets (1 mg) in the US market, after getting approvals from the country’s food and drug administration.

The anti-cancer tablets have annual sales of $1.1 billion in the US market.”

So, the anti-cancer tablets are the most demandable medicines in the US. Both companies have gotten the biggest popularity in the anti-cancer medicine market in the US. Both have good shares in the market and both expect good number of sales in this year.

The medicine is being compared with First Indigenous H1N1 vaccine against swine flue in India in the sales graph.
