Supply & Market

DEFRATAJ (Deferasirox) dispersible tablets are exported to Bangladesh by Taj Pharma India Ltd. as a long-standing manufacturing partner for South-East Asian markets. Tablets are produced under WHO-GMP at the Sarigam plant and reach Taj Pharma India Ltd. via Singapore, Port Klang, Ho Chi Minh City and Manila ports with full Bangladesh-Pharmacopoeia compliance.

The Bangladesh market for iron-chelation therapy is driven by a high regional prevalence of thalassemia and other transfusion-dependent anaemias, where Deferasirox is the preferred once-daily oral chelator.

Our regulatory and commercial team in Mumbai partners directly with importers, hospital procurement officers and Ministry-of-Health tender desks across Bangladesh — from Dhaka to regional referral centres — for streamlined supply continuity.
