Dr Milind K Biyani, Vice President, Scientific Affairs, Ajanta, told this correspondent here today. Ajanta reviews the trials every quarter. Carocan is composed of carotenoids and micronutrients which are obtained from carrots. Carrots are known to prevent cancer.
Carotenoids improve cell to cell communication to help protect against cancer.
The benefit with carocan is that the treatment gets over in one year with no requirement of additional medicines, Dr Biyani said. The trial is expected to get over by the end of this year. Ajanta has also initiated work on natural products for diabetes and asthma which are high value areas in the industry. Dr Biyani refused to disclose details of these two products. Ajanta's products which cover four continents include allopathy drugs, ethical formulations and medication from natural products.
