That apart, recently, Beta Drugs received an approval from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) for the launch of Methotrexate Solution for oral use. This approval makes the company the first company in India to introduce Methotrexate Oral Solution, a patient friendly and bioequivalent alternative to the existing tablet form. 
 
The product is indicated for use in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), lymphomas, various solid tumors, Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), and Psoriasis Vulgaris including Chronic Plaque Psoriasis, Erythrodermic Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Pustular Psoriasis. Methotrexate is a globally recognised therapy in oncology and autoimmune disorders. Traditionally available as tablets or injections, it often poses challenges in dosing and administration—especially for pediatric, geriatric, and chronic-care patients. The oral solution offers an easy-to-administer, accurately dosed, and bioequivalent alternative, improving compliance, convenience, and safety under medical supervision. This first-to-market approval represents a major step forward to expand beyond oncology into autoimmune therapy segments. The company has a strong presence in Oncology and dermatology. 
 
Beta Drugs is an oncology medicine manufacturing company specialises in the intricate field of complex chemical synthesis for anti-cancer bulk drugs and finished dosages. The company cater to the needs of over 50 leading Indian pharmaceutical companies, ensuring that patients have access to cutting-edge treatments and therapies. The company has a presence in over 46 nations.
