Natco Pharma Limited, a research and development (R&D)-focused pharmaceutical company based in India, today announced that DASH Pharmaceuticals, a company that markets, sells, and distributes generic pharmaceutical products, has officially transitioned to Natco Pharma USA, the U.S. subsidiary of Natco Pharma. As of January 2, all products marketed by the company will transition to the Natco Pharma USA label, with no changes to the current NDC Numbers.

Natco Pharma USA is led by Subba Rao Mente, Chief Executive Officer. Julie Trendowicz and Nick DiMaio, the former Executive Vice President and President of DASH, respectively, will assume the same roles under Natco Pharma USA.

"By acquiring DASH, Natco Pharma has gained a strategic presence in the United States, connecting us directly with our valued customers in this crucial market," said Subba Rao Mente, Chief Executive Officer of Natco Pharma USA. "This strategic move isn't just about growth; it's about bolstering our commitment to the U.S. pharmaceutical landscape."

Since 2007, Natco Pharma has been active in the US market, forging co-development and licensing partnerships with leading U.S. generic pharmaceutical companies. The company's collaborative efforts have culminated in the successful development and launch of a range of first-to-market generics and complex formulations, including Lenalidomide Capsules, Glatiramer Acetate Pre-Filled Syringes, Liposomal Doxorubicin Vials, Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules, Lanthanum Carbonate Chewable Tablets, Everolimus Tablets, and Lapatinib Tablets. These launches have firmly established Natco Pharma as a formidable and trustworthy entity in the U.S. generic pharmaceutical industry, laying the groundwork for a large-scale expansion into the U.S. With the establishment of Natco Pharma USA, the company hopes to continue to increase accessibility and affordability of its generic products.
