Glenmark’s Ryaltris ® nasal spray now approved in Europe for the first line treatment of
allergic rhinitis in patients over 12 years of age

 The launch will ensure much-needed access to a novel fixed-dose combination nasal spray for this
chronic condition
 This marks Glenmark’s first innovative product approval in the European Union

Mumbai, India; April 26, 2021: Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Limited, a research-led, global integrated
pharmaceutical company, is concluding the final, national phase of its marketing approval application process to
enable launch of its innovative nasal spray in 17 countries in the European Union. Ryaltris® (olopatadine
hydrochloride 665 mcg and mometasone furoate 25 mcg), will shortly be available in Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania,
Slovakia, Sweden, and the UK.

Glenmark will commercialise Ryaltris® on its own in select markets. In some countries such as France, Italy, Spain
and the Balkan region, Menarini Group will lead the commercialisation effort, as part of an exclusive licensing
agreement signed with Glenmark in 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, Glenmark is responsible for the
continued development and regulatory approval of Ryaltris® in these markets, while Menarini will lead the
scientific information and commercialization of Ryaltris®, following regulatory approval. Glenmark has received
an upfront payment and will additionally receive launch & sales based milestone payments from Menarini for
Ryaltris® sales.

Ryaltris®, developed by Glenmark, is a novel fixed-dose combination nasal spray of an anti-histamine and a
steroid, indicated for treatment of symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis (AR) in patients over 12 years of
age. It relieves symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including stuffy nose, runny nose, nasal itching, sneezing, as well as
itchy, red and watery eyes.

Achin Gupta, Executive Vice President, Business Head EMEA-L (Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latam) Glenmark
Pharmaceuticals, said, “Despite many treatments being available for allergic rhinitis, Glenmark is excited to
launch Ryaltris® as the only first line combination inhaler treatment option for patients across Europe.
Upwards of 25% of the population in Europe suffers from the debilitating symptoms of allergic rhinitis, so we
hope that Ryaltris® will bring some of these real benefits – a simple inhaler, offering fast and effective relief.”

Glenmark has also partnered with Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC and Bausch Health for the commercialisation of
Ryaltris® in the US and Canada respectively. Ryaltris® sales continue to progress well in Australia, after the
successful launch in 2020 by Glenmark’s partner, Seqirus Pty. Ltd. Ryaltris® was also recently launched in South
Africa, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. So far, Glenmark has received approval for Ryaltris® in Australia, South Korea,
Cambodia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Namibia, Russia, South Africa, and Ecuador. Ryaltris® is currently under
regulatory review in Canada, Brazil, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and several other markets. Glenmark’s partner in
China, Grand Pharmaceutical (China) Co. Ltd., plans to submit an IND in this financial year.
