Anti-diabetic drug market has been potentially growing in India. As several drugs have been launched by various Indian pharmaceutical companies, Zydus Cadila has made a breakthrough in the diabetes drug market by launching its new drug at the most affordable cost.

Cadila has offered its drug Tenglyn, the generic version of oral anti-diabetic drug gliptins at a price of Rs. 7 per tablet in India. Gliptins have been ruling the diabetes market with its potential to induce insulin in the blood.
