Glenmark Pharma, Bausch Health collaborate to commercialize nasal spray Ryaltris in Canada

Commenting on the agreement, Mr. Sanjeev Krishan, President & Business Head ‐ North America, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, said, "We are pleased to partner with Bausch Health Canada, and recognize their strong foothold in the prescription and OTC market in Canada. This agreement will help us reach a larger patient population and extend the multiple benefits of RYALTRIS to a significant market. Glenmark continues to build a strong portfolio in respiratory medicine, and RYALTRIS marks our first true global brand launch till date."

"We are pleased to add Ryaltris to our allergy product portfolio and eager to make it available to Canadian patients suffering from allergies," said Richard Lajoie, President of Bausch Health, Canada.

In Canada, allergic rhinitis is estimated to afflict 25% of the population, and can have a significant impact on sleep, work and school performance.

When approved in Canada, RYALTRIS will offer a fixed‐dose combination of two different classes of medications in a convenient nasal spray presentation. A combination of intranasal antihistamines and intranasal corticosteroids may be beneficial and provide an additive effect on efficacy, resulting in superior relief of seasonal allergic rhinitis symptoms compared with monotherapy.
