Glenmark Specialty, Hikma Pharma launch seasonal allergic rhinitis nasal spray RYALTRIS in US

"By combining two of the most frequently prescribed medicines used to address both the nasal and ocular symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis into one, easy-to-use nasal spray, RYALTRIS provides an important new treatment option for patients suffering from this chronic condition affecting the nose and eyes."

Uncontrolled seasonal allergic rhinitis is a serious condition that places a substantial burden on patients and society as whole. The symptoms of allergic rhinitis can lead to chronic complications including asthma, sinusitis, hearing impairment, and other allergy-related complications which can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life.

"The launch of RYALTRIS is a significant step forward for Hikma in expanding our US nasal spray leadership into branded medicines and advancing our objective of growing our specialty business in the US," said Brian Hoffmann, President of Hikma Generics. "Importantly, it will allow us to leverage our strong, existing specialty salesforce already calling on doctors within our specialty portfolio. We look forward to bringing this important new treatment option to the millions of US patients suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis."

"We are delighted to partner with Hikma for the launch of our novel drug RYALTRIS in the United States, making it our first global branded specialty product to be marketed in the country. RYALTRIS is a result of our consistent efforts to offer high-quality medicines that benefit patients around the world. Available in major markets across the globe, this launch is a major milestone for Glenmark and demonstrates our focus in strengthening our global respiratory leadership," said Brendan O'Grady, Chief Executive Officer - Global Formulations Business, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Ltd.
