CEQUA is the first dry eye treatment available in India that is delivered with nanomicellar (NCELL) technology
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries announced that one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries has launched a novel ophthalmology treatment, CEQUA, in India for patients who have Dry Eye Disease (DED) with inflammation, a commonly occurring condition. CEQUA is the first dry eye treatment available in India that is delivered with nanomicellar (NCELL) technology.
Kirti Ganorkar, CEO – India Business, Sun Pharma, said, “Current treatment options for Dry Eye Disease have limitations and hence a strong unmet need exists in this space. We are excited to introduce CEQUA® as a new treatment option for dry eye disease in India. This is an important milestone for Sun Pharma as we bring one of our key global speciality products to India.”
Dr Rohit Shetty, Vice Chairman of Narayana Nethralaya Eye Institute, commented on the launch, “We are seeing increasing cases of Dry Eye Disease in our practice, which may be caused by increased screen time and other lifestyle changes. Dry Eye Disease certainly needs more treatment options. Global clinical trials have shown that CEQUA provides faster results and is comfortable to most patients right from the start of treatment. CEQUA is backed by years of clinical experience in the US and other geographies. It is a welcome addition to our treatment toolkit.”
