Almus® Expands Portfolio Offering
16 August 2004

Almus Pharmaceuticals has once again added to its generics range with the introduction of Dothiepin in both 75mg tablets and 25 mg capsules. Featuring a mint strip against a pink pack to identify Dothiepin 75mg tablets and a lavender-coloured strip for the 25mg strength in capsules, the Almus® portfolio continues to grow.

The Dothiepin market is worth almost £11.5 million, no surprise therefore, that Almus Pharmaceutical Ltd is encouraging pharmacists to take advantage of this market and use the introduction of the new Almus® Dothiepin range to drive their business.

Tony Foreman, Chief Executive of Almus Pharmaceuticals commented: "The introduction of Dothiepin is yet a further example of our commitment to expand the Almus® range at great speed. As a result, we are now set to offer a generics portfolio of approximately 200 products by the end of 2004."

"All product introductions will continue to be packaged clearly and colour-coded to ensure a cut in dispensing errors."

Dothiepin 75mg and 25mg are available from Almus® via OTC Direct and UniChem.
