United Kingdom

GlaxoSmithKline - Arixtra & Fraxiparine/Fraxodi Brands is a specialised sterile production site which manufactures the Brands at Notre Dame de Bondeville, France . Arixtra and Fraxiparine/Fraxodi are made at a sterile site and the ability to manufacture steriles is globally recognised as a specialist activity resulting in limited possible competition. This is a factor further underlined by the increased complexity of the manufacturing process of Fraxiparine/Fraxodi due to the biological nature of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) used in their production.
