Lotus Pharmaceuticals and Teraju Pharma have entered a strategic partnership to market Lotus’s products in a range of therapeutic areas in Malaysia.

Teraju Pharma will be responsible for marketing and promoting the products using its relationships and infrastructure.

The company is a specialised pharmaceutical wholesaler and holds a licence, issued by the country’s ministry of health, to import non-registered pharmaceutical products, orphan drugs and other life-saving medicines.

It sources a wide range of branded or generic equivalent drugs from across the globe to meet the needs of the local market.

Lotus Pharmaceuticals CEO Petar Vazharov stated: “We are delighted at our new collaboration with Teraju.

“This partnership will enable us to establish a substantial presence in Malaysia, particularly in the oncology sector, which leverages high-quality manufacturing and a rich pipeline of products.”
