Dr. Reddy’s is the First Participant in United States Pharmacopoeia’s
New Pharmaceutical Ingredient Verification Programme

Hyderabad, India, April 17, 2007: Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. today announced that it has signed on as the first participant in United States Pharmacopoeia’s (USP) Pharmaceutical Ingredient Verification Programme.

“Participating in this programme shows that Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories shares USP’s commitment to good pharmaceutical care throughout the world,” said Dr. Roger Williams, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice-President of USP.

“We look forward to participating in this programme so that we can show manufacturers, regulatory authorities and consumers our dedication to producing pharmaceutical ingredients that are of consistently high quality,” said Satish Reddy, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Director of Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd.

USP created the Pharmaceutical Ingredient Verification Programme in response to increasing concerns throughout the pharmaceutical industry about the quality and consistency of pharmaceutical ingredients. The programme enables manufacturers to show the quality and integrity of their ingredients with a recognizable ‘USP Verified’ mark.

As a participant in the Pharmaceutical Ingredient Verification Programme, Dr. Reddy’s will submit ingredients to USP’s verification process, which includes:

	•		Evaluation of an ingredient manufacturer’s quality systems through an audit for compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs)
	•		Review of manufacturing and quality control documents for the ingredients
	•		Laboratory testing of ingredient samples from USP-selected lots for compliance with USP’s FDA-enforceable standards for purity, potency and quality
	•		Post-verification surveillance testing of ingredients bearing the USP Verified mark.

Once each ingredient passes the verification process, Dr. Reddy’s will receive a Certificate of Standards Compliance. They will be permitted to post the ‘USP Verified’ mark on the shipping container, and certificate of analysis demonstrating that it meets USP’s world-class quality standards.

Dr. Reddy’s launches Reditux™ – Monoclonal Antibody Treatment for Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Hyderabad, India, April 30 2007: Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (NYSE: RDY) today announced the launch of Reditux™, the Dr Reddy’s brand of rituximab, a monoclonal antibody (MAb) used in the treatment of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The launch event was held in Hyderabad with over 100 leading oncologists attending the unveiling of the RedituxTM brand followed by a technical session on the development of the drug.

Talking at the technical session Dr Anji Reddy, Chairman, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories said “Dr. Reddy’s has always been committed to creating value by applying science to help people lead healthier lives – Reditux™ is yet another example of this commitment. This is a proud moment for the organization, to know that we have succeeded in developing this very complex molecule which will help in providing an affordable solution to patients.”

The technical session detailed the approach taken by Dr. Reddy’s in developing this complex protein therapeutic including data from the clinical trial. There was also an open forum with a panel comprising the clinical trial investigators and the members of the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) addressing questions from the audience regarding the clinical experience with the drug.

In his talk at the conclusion of the technical session, Dr. Alok Srivastava — the coordinating investigator for the trial and Professor of Medicine and Head of the Department of Haematology at Christian Medical College, Vellore — commented on the excellent pre-clinical data that had been made available to the investigators prior to the start of the clinical trial and emphasized the importance of post-marketing surveillance to monitor the safety of the product.

Dr Reddy’s also launched its social initiative called “Sparsh” — an Assistance Program for cancer patients undergoing treatment — at the Reditux™ launch. Patients identified by the doctors through Sparsh would be provided Reditux™ free of cost. Talking about Sparsh, G V Prasad, the Vice Chairman & CEO, Dr Reddy’s Laboratories added, “We understand the dilemma that doctors and patients face in cancer therapy. The care is very expensive and it can be financially debilitating for most patients. This is a reality we are acutely aware of at Dr Reddy’s and the Sparsh initiative is a first step to serve the needs of the patients by increasing access and affordability of medicine. While the program is in early stages of implementation in the oncology care space; we hope to further increase the reach to other therapeutic areas in future.”

Reditux™ is the second product from Dr. Reddy’s Biologics Division. There are several other products in development primarily in the areas of oncology and autoimmune diseases.

Notes to the Editor:

	•		Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) describes a group of cancers arising from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. It is distinct from Hodgkin lymphoma in its pathologic features, epidemiology, common sites of involvement, clinical behavior, and treatment. The non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a diverse group of diseases with varying courses, treatments, and prognoses.
	•		NHL is the 6th leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Approximately 95% of cases occur in adults 40 to 70 years in age. As per Globocan 2002, in India more than 20,000 patients are diagnosed yearly with NHL.
	•		Sparsh can be accessed on www.sparshindia.in by the country’s Oncologists. Doctors will be given access to the website by the company wherein they can refer needy patients for treatment of Reditux™. Dr Reddy’s would ensure that the patients identified by the doctors through Sparsh are provided the recommended therapy free of cost.

•

Reditux™ is approximately priced at half the originator’s price. Product availability is planned at Company’s C&F agents and at all major hospitals in the country.
