Nazmul Hassan MP, Managing Director of Beximco Pharmaceuticals, commented:

 

"Beximco Pharma has delivered further strong growth during the period. In line with our strategy to maintain growth in Bangladesh while expanding our exports business, net sales have continued to grow at double-digit rates, both domestically and abroad. This strategy has been further borne out by our operational successes in which we have seen the launch of Maxhaler mDPI in Bangladesh, bolstering our domestic respiratory portfolio, as well as the launch of Nadalol in the US, one of our key export markets. These developments represent a positive start to the year, which we plan to continue moving forward."
