Pharma stocks are trading in the green led by Dishman Pharma and Orchid Chemicals. According to a leading financial daily, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has received the right to sell its HIV-associated diarrhoea drug Crofelemer in 140 countries. An international arbitrator has ruled in favor of the company after the Indian company sought arbitration in the United States last December. This was after Napo terminated a three-party agreement under which Glenmark holds the exclusive right to distribute Crofelemer in 140 countries including India. Glenmark developed Crofelemer with U.S.-based partners Napo Pharmaceuticals and Salix Pharmaceuticals Limited. Salix was to sell the drug in regulated markets such as North America, Japan and Europe. The International Centre for Dispute Resolution found that Napo breached the agreement by disclosing confidential information about manufacturing Crofelemer to another drugmaker Aptuit Laurus.
