The company will be launching a series of products as line extensions under the Corex brand name, starting with the first launch in December, 2016 and subsequent launches over the next year. The company has also decided to discontinue the manufacturing of the current Corex Cough Syrup formulation (Codeine Phosphate 10mg + Chlorpheniramine Maleate 4mg).

Pfizer stands by the safety and efficacy of its current Corex Cough Syrup formulation that has been duly approved by Central and State regulators. As with this formulation, all additional line extensions will be introduced with all due regulatory approvals in place. The company remains committed to providing a more comprehensive set of solutions in respiratory indications, while ensuring minimal impact towards patients resulting from the discontinuation of manufacturing of the current Corex Cough Syrup formulation.

Pfizer has produced innovative breakthroughs in a wide range of research areas, including depression, erectile dysfunction, high cholesterol, HIV infection, hypertension, bacterial infections and systemic fungal infections. Corex Cough Syrup recorded a sale of Rs 244.48 crore for the financial year ended March 31, 2016.
