Venus Remedies bags Ukrainian GMP approval for Carbapenem, oncology parenteral facilities

With Ukraine extending GMP to all seven facilities of Venus Remedies in Baddi, the company is looking to expand its product portfolio in other EU markets as well

Venus Remedies has received Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certification from Ukraine for Meropenem 500mg, Meropenem 1000mg, Meropenem 2000mg, Oxaliplatin 5mg/ml, Paclitaxil 6mg/ml, Cisplatin 1mg/ml, Imipenem/Cilastatin 500mg/500mg of its Carbapenem & Oncology production facilities at its unit in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh.

Granted by the State Service of Ukraine on Medicine and Drug Control (SMDC) after a stringent and elaborate audit, this certification is expected to pave the way for GMP certifications for Venus Remedies from the European Medicines Agency and many medicines regulatory authorities of the European Union (EU) member states and other countries spread across the globe which follow the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention/Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S).

This international GMP approval, the 27th for Venus Remedies, will also enable the company to expand its product portfolio globally with more marketing authorisations not only from Ukraine, which happens to be one of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the Common Wealth of Independent States (CIS) with a worth of $5 billion, but other global markets as well. Notably, India is the second largest exporter of pharma products to Ukraine after Germany.

PIC/S includes 54 countries, which together represent a $222 billion market, and Venus Remedies is already present in 04 PIC/S member states. The company also has a presence in 16 countries in the EU, which has a market size of $350 billion.

Reinforcing the position of Venus Remedies as a global leader in the pharmaceutical industry, the approval covers the company’s non-cephalosporin (carbapenem) and oncology parenteral facilities, comprising liquid and lyophilised injections, ampoules, liquid vials, general lyophilised vials, prefilled syringes and intravenous fluids.

Saransh Chaudhary, President, Global Critical Care, Venus Remedies, said, “This certification is an extended recognition for our manufacturing facilities, which are on a par with international standards in terms of the quality parameters set by PIC/S member nations. This is the 5th time that we have received a PIC/S recognition for our exceptional manufacturing standards, which highlights our unwavering commitment to excellence in pharmaceutical manufacturing and solidifies our position as a leading manufacturer of fixed-dosage injectables.”

“Having established ourselves in the Ukrainian market for the past 13 years, Venus Remedies takes great pride in our 45 product registrations and the significant export volume of $0.83 million. However, this is more than just a business opportunity for us. We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by Ukraine as a war-torn country, and we consider it our responsibility to support their healthcare system in these trying times. By expanding our product portfolio in Ukraine, our aim is not only to increase our market share but also to make a meaningful contribution to the well-being of the people. Together, we can strive for a brighter future for Ukraine,” said Saransh.

“We are deeply committed to delivering safe and effective drugs of the highest quality to patients across the globe. This GMP certification represents a significant milestone in our global expansion strategy. We are excited to introduce our exceptional range of pharmaceutical products to Ukraine. As we progress, we will collaborate closely with the healthcare community in Ukraine, supporting their unwavering efforts to restore and enhance the nation’s health. Together, we aim to forge a healthier future for Ukraine and make a lasting positive impact on the lives of its people,” Akshansh Chaudhary, Executive Director, Venus Remedies.
