Shilpa Medicare has gotten permission from Europe to sell its Rotigotine patch, which treats restless legs syndrome and Parkinson’s disease. This approval is a big step towards selling a cheaper version of a medicine called Neupro. It means Shilpa can now sell this patch in Europe, potentially reaching a market worth around $222 million.

• Shilpa’s Rotigotine patch approved by European authorities.
• Patch treats Restless Legs Syndrome and Parkinson’s disease.
• Market potential valued at approximately $222 million.
• Generic version of Neupro, a well-known medicine.
• Strategic partner secured for European commercialization launch.

The Rotigotine patch works by sticking to the skin and slowly releasing the medicine. This is called transdermal delivery, and it’s a common way to give medicine. The approval came from Shilpa Medicare’s factory in Bengaluru, India, which makes the patches.

Shilpa has teamed up with another company to help sell the patches in Europe. They plan to start selling them around the end of the next financial year (FY27). This is important because it shows Shilpa is serious about growing its business internationally.
