Sucanon® is approved as an over-the-counter ("OTC") remedy for type-2 diabetes by regulatory authorities in Mexico and is distributed there under an exclusive agreement with Merck S.A. de C.V. (Merck S.A. de C.V. is the Mexico and Latin America sales and marketing organization of German pharmaceutical and chemical giant, Merck KGaA.)
Commercial sales of Sucanon® began in January 2011 in Mexico. Mexico has one of the largest and fastest growing diabetic populations in the world, estimated at 15% of the total population. This indicates over 16 million diagnosed cases of diabetes, up seven fold since 1990. Diabetes is now the leading cause of death in Mexico and costs the country more than one-third of its total public health care budget annually.
