Indian generics firm Dr Reddy’s plans to focus on the US, the world’s biggest drug market, and cut back in other regions to help it weather the global economic storm.

The non-branded major told the country’s Economic Times it will reduce its operations in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the Middle East and Africa and will close several facilities in China.

The paper quotes an unnamed company spokesman as saying "as part of our strategy, we continue to review our presence in various geographies based on the opportunities and attractiveness of those markets," and that Dr Reddy’s would align resources to meet its strategic priorities.
