Mankind Pharma initially targeted price-sensitive drugs, with a focus on rural market;[17] its early products included antibacterial drug Zenflox and prescription antibiotic Moxikind CV, which were priced at a steep discount to the existing products in the market.[18] The company ventured into the over-the-counter segment in 2007, focusing primarily on sexual healthcare products.[19][20]
