Our General Medicines portfolio recorded strong double-digit growth of 12% for the quarter, driven
by key focus brands Augmentin, Ceftum and Calpol. Despite the NLEM impact in previous
quarters, all promoted brands outpaced their respective categories in growth and gained market
share.
Specialty portfolio led by Nucala and Trelegy has accelerated the momentum with highest patient
recruitment in Q4.
For the vaccines business, over the last two quarters, we have seen a steady upswing in both adult
and paediatric segments. This business delivered a Q4 growth of 35%. We continue to build on
the momentum generated with the launch of Shingrix (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted)
as we drive expansion of the Adult Immunisation category in India with innovative go-to-market
(GTM) strategies.We also remain committed to accelerating digital transformation to drive focused reach, coverage
and seamless omni-channel experience for our customers.”
