Dr. Reddy's Laboratories launched Finrid (Fentanyl Transdem Patch) in India. It is used to treat severe to moderate pain, and provides continuous systemic delivery of Fentanyl, a potent opioid analgesic for up to 72 hours. It is the first opioid transdermal patch to be developed in India.
Being a controlled substance, Finrid will be sold through an independent distribution structure and will be available across hospitals and palliative care centers in India. Finrid is available in a transdermal patch form, and delivers dosages of 25 meg/hr and 50 mcg/hr depending on the patch used.
