It is for the first time in the world an FDC comprising remogliflozin etabonate and another widely used DPP4 inhibitor (Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 inhibitor) – vildagliptin, with metformin (first-line treatment for diabetes) has been approved for manufacturing and marketing.
The combination drug, which will be marketed under two brand names Remo MV and Remozen MV, is an innovative, patent-protected sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor indicated for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults. With the launch, the company aims to improve patient access to SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP4 inhibitors which have proven benefits in the effective management of diabetes with added advantage of patient compliance. This indication has been approved for adults aged 18 years and older with Type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control when metformin and one of the mono-components of fixed dose combination do not provide adequate glycemic control, or when already being treated with separate doses of remogliflozin, vildagliptin and metformin.

CONVENTIONAL LINEN IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CULPRITS IN HOSPITAL ACQUIRED AS WELL AS SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS
The âgreen colourâ linen is synonymous with hospitals, as it has been in use for centuries in hospitals world over, especially the conventional healthcare settings. But how many, even in the medical community, are really conscious about the responsibility for and the critical role of this piece of medical accessory in ensuring patient safety? Evidence from most hospitals in India indicates that not many are aware of the standards, and even if they are, not many bother with them. Again, going by real world experience, there exists another paradox. Though the actual cost of the repeated use of the linen is higher than the cost of single-use disposables (recommended in modernday care), it is still being used in a large majority of hospitals and clinics in India â because it is the convention. Therefore, transformation hesitance is more of a mindset issue rather than ignorance or economics. Most in the industry also oppose quality regulations in the country. In a market where hundreds of textile weavers and cloth merchants turned medical mask and accessory manufacturers overnight during the Covid pandemic, the market situation serves the unscrupulous minds who only eye the profits. However, there are a handful of local companies, besides the large organised players, who stick to quality products in this predominently price conscious market due to internal SOPs or pure commitment. For JAMES GEORGE, Founder and Managing Director at Kochi-based Careon Healthcare Solutions, it is more of a personal commitment. In a freewheeling interview with Editor CH UNNIKRISHNAN, George says that the primary reason behind the rise of unscrupulous players in the medical disposables market is lack of awareness among the users and the patients.
