Cipla falls 3% on Lanreotide supply halt

Shares of Cipla Ltd dropped over 3% after a temporary halt in production of its key US drug, Lanreotide, due to quality issues at its European supplier.

Lanreotide is one of Cipla’s top three US revenue-generating products, and the disruption has raised investor concerns. Brokerages including Morgan Stanley and Nuvama cut target prices, citing risks to FY27 earnings from the supply pause, rising competition, and loss of exclusivity on other drugs.

Cipla expects resupply in the first half of FY27, creating near-term uncertainty for its financial outlook.

Cipla, Stempeutics unveil first stem‑cell therapy for knees

Cipla, in collaboration with Stempeutics Research, has launched a new stem‑cell therapy for knee osteoarthritis called Ciplostem. The therapy is designed to slow joint degeneration and help maintain cartilage health in patients with Grade II or III knee osteoarthritis.

Ciplostem is a ready‑to-use injection containing 25 million cultured bone‑marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells along with hyaluronic acid. Administered directly into the knee joint, it works at the cellular level to reduce inflammation and pain while improving joint function.

Unlike conventional treatments such as painkillers, physiotherapy, or lubricating injections that only relieve symptoms temporarily, Ciplostem targets the root cause of degeneration. The therapy has been developed after extensive clinical research and trials, offering a new regenerative option for patients seeking long-term relief from knee osteoarthritis.

This launch marks a significant step in India’s regenerative medicine landscape, providing a treatment that addresses the underlying joint damage rather than just managing pain.
