Mediflex, the first cream in Indonesia that contains glucosamine proves to be selling well. The cream meant for knee joint disorders is in the Top 10 New Products in Indonesia, according to the May edition of Farmacia Magazine. The definition of a new product is a product that has been launched in the last 2 years. It is in accordance with PT Kalbe Farma’s commitment to always innovate, launch (and to make it a success) new products.

Dr. Martinus Zega, Mediflex’s Product Manager affirmed that one of the keys that support the recognition of this 75gr cream is because the product is the first product in Indonesia that contains glucosamine. Another thing is because the packaging is designed to be as attractive as possible; hence, patients may know the indications or benefits of the cream. The point is still not common on medications sold as ethical drugs.

Even though it falls under the category if ethical products, the cream may be bought in pharmacies and hospitals without prescriptions. Also, the product has undergone clinical tests at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital Jakarta and proven to be effective.

According to the plan, after a success in Indonesia, PT Kalbe Farma Tbk will sell the product overseas.
