Dr Reddy's Laboratories has been awarded the 'WorldStar 2004 Award' by the World Packaging Organisation for its anti-counterfeit and patient protection packaging.

The awards were given for three DRL products, ClearzTM, DocetereTM and MintopTM, the company said in a press statement.

Dr Reddy's is the only pharmaceutical company from India to be selected for the awards this year, which were held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, it said.

"These awards are a recognition of our efforts to prevent counterfeiting and ensure protection to patients using our products. We believe that excellence in product packaging is critical to ensuring the availability of safe and effective medicines," Satish Reddy, DRL managing director and COO said.

This is the third successive year that Dr Reddy's has won the WorldStar Awards, instituted in 1970, the statement said.

The company won the WorldStar 2003 award for 'Omez' and its anti- counterfeiting features and the 2002 award for NiseTM's design excellence.
