Biocon Ltd (BSE code: 532523, NSE: BIOCON), an innovation-led global biopharmaceuticals company, today announced the launch of Tacrolimus capsules in the US.

Siddharth Mittal, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Biocon Ltd, said: “The launch of Tacrolimus capsules in the US is another milestone for Biocon that reflects our commitment to continually evaluate and expand our portfolio of complex products to serve patients.”
