Ras Al Khaimah: Increased awareness on diabetes among patients has contributed to the higher demand for insulin ? a type of hormone used to control the blood sugar of people with diabetes ? and UAE pharmaceutical company Julphar said it was working hard to meet the demand in the market.
The Ras Al Khaimah-based pharma company launched its Dh500 million plant in its headquarters to manufacture and commercialise products for diabetes care. Total capacity at the new plant is 1,500 kilograms of insulin or up to 40 million vials per year. Julphar, also known as Gulf Pharmaceutical Industries, is the only insulin-producing plant in the region.
Joseph Saldanha, general manager of Julphar Diabetes, told Gulf News an increase in demand for insulin in the country has been noted since they launched the product in September last year.
