Stada enjoyed double-digit growth for revenues and profitability when adjusted for currency and one-time costs last year, as the privately-owned German firm championed its supply chain investments amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Stada has announced the launch of its medical cannabis portfolio under the brand CannabiStada in Germany. The company will be rolling out both flowers and whole extracts, primarily geared towards chronic pain patients for whom established medications, such as opioids, do not work.

Stada is kicking off the launch of its Lecigon gel in continental Europe by rolling out the value-added product – which combines levodopa, carbidopa and entacapone infused via a lightweight pump – in Germany and Austria.
