India based firm Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories has introduced a new range of packaging for its syrup bottles and blister in order to make them patient-friendly.
The company, in partnership with California-based design and consulting firm IDEO, has redesigned its blister packs and syrup bottles for five of its brands in the Indian market.
The pharmaceutical company plans to roll-out the new packaging design for its 25 brands over the next six months in phased manner.
Dr. Reddy’s said that it has identified medicine packaging as an underserved area to innovate, adding that it was traditionally designed only to meet technical and regulatory requirements.
