MUMBAI: Dr Reddy's Laboratories Ltd said on Wednesday it had entered into an agreement with US drug maker Merck & Co to sell generic versions of Merck's Proscar and Zocor drugs after patent expiry. There has been a rise in the United States of so-called authorised generics -- unpatented versions of branded medicines that are launched by pharmaceutical groups when their medicines lose patent protection.
