The Chinese unit of Japanese drugmaker Eisai has entered into license agreement with Health Vision Enterprise, a sales subsidiary of Germany's STADA Arzneimittel AG, for sales and repackaging of diabetic neuropathic pain treatment Alpha-Lipon 300 STADA (alpha-lipoic acid) in China. With this agreement, Eisai will take over sales promotion activities for the product from the Hong Kong-headquartered unit and will prepare for filing an application for repacking the product at its Suzhou plant. Alpha-Lipon 300 has been on the market in China since 2005. It relieves neuropathic pain associated with diabetes by its antioxidant effect, which reduces overproduction of oxygen species and normalization of glucose metabolism, the firms noted.
