Lupin partners with global agencies to increase patient access to TB prevention treatment
Mumbai, India-based generic drugmaker Lupin Limited (BSE: 500257) revealed that it has reached an agreement with Unitaid, the Aurum Institute, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), and other global procurement agencies to support tuberculosis (TB) prevention treatment that will be rolled out to 138 countries, including many low-and middle-income countries with a large burden of TB.
Through this agreement, Lupin will introduce two new formulations, a fixed-dose combination of rifapentine + isoniazid and rifapentine 300mg standalone tablets, at an affordable price. As a global leader in anti-TB medicines, Lupin is committed to ensuring its products are widely available in all countries and there is equitable access to treatment globally, the company said.
French pharma major Sanofi (Euronext: SAN) markets rifapentine under the trade name Priftin in combination with isoniazid for the treatment of TB.
