Herceptin and Herclon are one and the same. Earlier name was Herceptin. New name now is Herclon.

Herceptin is the name of the drug manufactured by Roche. This Swiss company has strong presence in US, but not so strong presence in India.

When Roche sells its drug to an Indian Company called Emcure and Emcure markets and sells this same drug, it is called Herclon
