You should keep an eye on those companies which are engaged in a special project or are trying to make something that can bring a big change in human life. There is one such company, which was experimenting and researching on a drug for about 15 years, which will cure serious diseases very fast in the coming time. In just one year, this pharma company has earned 10 times the money for the investors. We are talking about Wockhardt Pharma. Even today its stock has jumped 5.03 percent and closed at Rs 1519.20.

Investors are wondering why Wockhardt's stock has jumped so much today? So let us tell you that the main reason for this is the approval of the company's new drug Miknaf (Nafithromycin) by the Indian drug regulator, Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO). This drug will treat community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP), which is a serious disease that spreads infection in the lungs.

What is special about Miknaf medicine?
The specialty of Miknaf medicine is that it shows a very good effect in just three days, by taking it once a day. It is also effective on those bacteria which are not cured by common medicines. This medicine has now been successful in India, America, Europe and South Africa after 15 years of non-human and human trials.

After this announcement, Wockhardt's shares made a highest level of Rs 1,580 on Friday. Yesterday (Thursday) it closed at Rs 1,445.75. With today's jump, the market capitalization of Wockhardt Pharma Company has crossed Rs 25,000 crore.

CABP is a serious problem worldwide.
CABP is a disease that affects millions of people every year. Globally, 23 percent of its victims are from India. The main causes of this disease are bacteria such as S. Pneumoniae and H. Influenzae. Apart from this, bacteria such as mycoplasma, chlamydia and legionella can also cause it.
