Gurgaon-based Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd has launched a generic version of Prasugrel in India. The product called Prasita is an antiplatelet agent for prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Prasita is solely marketed by Ranbaxy in India.

Following the April 2009 launch of Olvance (olmesartan medoxomil), an antihypertensive originally discovered by Tokyo-based Daiichi Sankyo Company Ltd, Prasita is the second product from the Daiichi Sankyo portfolio to be introduced in India through the Ranbaxy business network. Ranbaxy will create awareness, understanding and acceptance of the new antiplatelet therapy among the target audiences in the country.

On Thursday, Ranbaxy's shares ended 1.34% up at Rs424 on the Bombay Stock Exchange, while the benchmark Sensex closed 1.59% up at 16,922 points.
