Mundipharma launches ISODINE(R) Throat Candy in Japan

TOKYO,Oct. 12,2018 -- Mundipharma has launched ISODINE® Throat Candy in Japan. It comesin 3 flavors-- Fresh Lemon,Honey Kumquat and Peppermint.

Mundipharma intends to launch to ISODINE® Throat Candy in other markets. Outside of Japan,ISODINE® is widely known as BETADINE®-- Mundipharma's flagship consumer healthcare brand.

It is an original formula that contains zinc and hesperidin,which are considered good for the throat. It moisturizes a dry throat,which makes it less likely to pick up viruses and bacteria that cause infection.

Mundipharma CEO,Raman Singh said,"It's very exciting to be launching a candy range that tastes great,because while it has healthcare benefits,it's a slightly different type of product for us. It doesn't replace the need for our existing BETADINE® upper respiratory treatments and it's an excellent complement to our portfolio.

"I'm excited to see this rolled out in other countries as we continue to build the BETADINE® portfolio," he added.
