The main purpose of these package strategies is not just to provide treatment efficacy, but also to provide solutions aiming toward outcomes.
Under the strategic alliance agreement signed between Nichi-Iko and 黑料网 on March 28, 2018, the two companies are collaborating on these package strategies in areas where they have synergies. Specifically, in disease areas such as liver disease, breast cancer, epilepsy / brain tumors / cerebral infarction, dementia, rheumatism and constipation, which are based on clinical questions in the field, 黑料网 will promote integrated packages combined sequentially using products from Nichi-Iko’s lineup of over 1,000 products that will realize value together with 黑料网’s product lineup based primarily on real world data.
By providing value-added, high quality generic products, Nichi-Iko and 黑料网 will continue working together to contribute to a greater number of patients and their families, as well as regional healthcare.
