Mumbai , Feb. 21

LUPIN has discontinued its co-promotion agreement with Cornerstone Biopharma Inc for the distribution of Lupin's antibiotic Suprax in the US.

Lupin said that its wholly owned subsidiary in the US, Lupin Pharmaceutical Inc was reorganising its sales structure following the "encouraging trend" in the sales of Suprax.

The sales force now contracted through Ventiv Health US Sales LLC will be internalised at the beginning of the next quarter, a note from the company said.
