Santosh Varalwar, managing director, Vivimed Labs, said, “This is a very important strategic development at Vivimed. As part of our strategy, the company has exited from the branded formulations in ophthalmology and will continue to focus on CMO and US generic business. Furthermore, this transaction will also provide us enhanced financial flexibility by further reducing debt as we transition into the next phase of growth.”

Klar Sehen, two German words meaning ‘clear vision’, focusses on ophthalmology as its core competence, with also presence in other therapeutic segments such as ENT, paediatrics, gynaecology and broad-based general medicine.
