Approval for New Drug Manufacturing
Bajaj Healthcare has received approval from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture both the API and drug formulation of Pimavanserin (34 mg capsule). This atypical antipsychotic is used for treating hallucinations and delusions associated with Parkinson’s disease psychosis.
Pimavanserin, marketed globally under the brand name NUPLAZID, has become a preferred treatment in the US antipsychotic segment. Recently, Acadia Pharmaceuticals announced that NUPLAZID, along with its other brand DAYBUE, is expected to generate over $1 billion in net sales in 2025.
Bajaj Healthcare has also extended its offer for Pimavanserin to several leading Indian pharmaceutical companies, ensuring its availability in the domestic market.
The company primarily focuses on the development, manufacturing, and supply of Amino Acids, Nutritional Supplements, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) for the Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, and Food industries.
