HanAll Biopharma(CO-CEO Seong-uk Kim and
Seung-kook Park) has announced the
conclusion of 1-million USD contract to export ‘Glucodown Tab OR’, a new
advanced diabetic medicine, to Koushan Pharmed, the pharmaceutical company in
Iran on March 9.
Concluded the export and supply contract
with HanAll, Koushan Pharmed, established in 1995, is a pharmaceutical company
in Iran to have the sales of 30 billion KRW. HanAll has concluded the contract
for the primary export of Glucodown Tab OR worth one million USD to Koushan
Pharmed by January 2016, and it will conclude the secondary supply contract in
the beginning of 2016 by expanding the size of export. Moreover, the
registration process of the 2-chamber fluid ‘PN Mix Peri Injection’ and ‘Linezolid’
developed by HanAll will begin in this year, and total three products will be
exported from 2016.
‘Glucodown Tab OR’ on this contract is the
first new advanced medicine developed by HanAll in 2007, and it is a product
modified with the DDS(Drug Delivery System) technology to maintain medicinal
effect of metformin, a diabetic medicine, for 24 hours within a body. It is
noteworthy that this technology has improved convenience of patients by leading
patients to take medicine only once a day instead of three times a day.
Especially, a burden of taking a conventional metformin tablet(a pill for
long-lasting medicine effect), or a size of pill, has been significantly
reduced through the unique matrix technique of HanAll for easy dosage.
HanAll has received the DDS Award by the
Korean Society of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technology with Glucodown Tab OR
in 2006, and in 2012, it has received the certificate of GH Mark(Goods of
Health) for the first time among metformin medicines by the Korea Health Industry
Development Institute.
Since its launching in 2007, Glucodown Tab
OR has been growing over 15% every year. After the product has achieved the
sales of 6.1 billion KRW in 2012, the product has achieved the annual sales of
6 billion KRW to be the trusty product of HanAll. HanAll is expecting to have
the domestic sales of 7 billion KRW from Glucodown Tab OR in this year.
“We already shipped the primary supply of Glucodown
Tab OR to Koushan Pharmed. This contract is meaningful as the advanced medicine
developed with HanAll technology instead of generic medicine has entered into
the overseas market. As foreign markets are interested in this Glucodown Tab
OR, we will actively explore the overseas business line from this contract to
make this product as the core product to bring more than 10 billion KRW of
annual sales from export,” said of official from HanAll Biopharma.
