Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA said Tuesday that its subsidiary Fresenius Kabi is scaling up production of critical drugs used in the treatment of Covid-19.

The health-care company said demand for medicines used for sedation, such as Propofol or pain-management drugs, has significantly increased. The medicines will be supplied to Covid-19 patients in priority, it said.

Prices will remain stable for the drugs that are essential during the treatment of the sickness, the company said.
