Shilpa Medicare Limited, a leading pharmaceutical company, has expanded its global footprint with the launch of BORUZU™ (Bortezomib for Injection 3.5mg/1.4ml) in the United States. Partnering with Amneal Pharmaceuticals, this launch marks a significant step in providing more efficient and accessible oncology treatments. The ready-to-use formulation aims to enhance patient care by reducing preparation time and improving administration convenience.
Shilpa Medicare, in collaboration with its marketing partner Amneal Pharmaceuticals, has introduced BORUZU™, a novel oncology drug designed for both subcutaneous and intravenous administration. Unlike traditional bortezomib formulations that require reconstitution before use, BORUZU™ comes in a ready-to-use form, eliminating complex compounding steps. This advancement is expected to improve operational efficiency in healthcare settings and reduce patient wait times.
BORUZU™ is a proteasome inhibitor used for the treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. The drug has received a permanent J-code from the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), ensuring streamlined reimbursement for medical providers. The molecule was developed by Shilpa Medicare, while Amneal Pharmaceuticals will handle its manufacturing and commercial distribution in the US market.
Shilpa Medicare has consistently demonstrated its commitment to innovation by developing advanced pharmaceutical solutions. The company specialises in niche oncology and non-oncology Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), peptides, and differentiated dosage forms, including injectables and transdermal patches. With multiple R&D centres and manufacturing facilities, it also provides Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisation (CDMO) services to global pharmaceutical firms.
According to Vishnukant Bhutada, Managing Director of Shilpa Medicare, the launch of BORUZU™ highlights the company’s focus on introducing pharmacy-efficient solutions that enhance compliance and accessibility for patients. This development aligns with Shilpa’s broader mission to improve healthcare by delivering high-quality and innovative pharmaceutical products worldwide.

The introduction of BORUZU™ in the US market represents a major achievement for Shilpa Medicare, reinforcing its position as a key player in the oncology pharmaceutical sector.
