Mylan Secures Regulatory Approval for Remdesivir Lyophilized Powder for Injection 100 mg/vial in India for Restricted Emergency Use in COVID-19 Patients

16:30:00 0

HERTFORDSHIRE, England, PITTSBURGH, U.S. and BANGALORE, India, July 6, 2020 – Mylan N.V. (NASDAQ: MYL) today announced that the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) has approved its remdesivir 100 mg/vial for restricted emergency use in India as part of the DCGI’s accelerated approval process to address urgent, unmet needs amid the evolving coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The drug is approved for the treatment of suspected or laboratory confirmed incidences of COVID-19 in adults and children hospitalized with severe presentations of the disease. The drug will be launched under the brand name DESREM™ in India and will be available to patients in July at a price of INR 4,800, which is more than 80% less than the price at which the branded version of this product will be available to governments in the developed world.

Mylan will manufacture remdesivir in India at its world-class injectables facilities, which also make product for the U.S. and have been inspected by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for compliance with good manufacturing practices. The company continues to work extensively toward expanding emergency use access for patients in the 127 low- and middle-income countries where it is licensed by Gilead Sciences to do so, subject to reviews by national regulatory bodies and the Prequalification Program of the World Health Organization (WHO). The approval by DCGI in India represents the first for Mylan in these 127 markets.

Mylan President Rajiv Malik said: “Mylan and Gilead Sciences have partnered for many years to make high quality medicines available to people who need them and have made significant progress to reduce the incidence of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, around the world. We commend Gilead for their continued leadership on this front, and also applaud and are proud to continue partnering with the DCGI for its ongoing efforts to accelerate access to critical medicine for patients with COVID-19 in India.

Malik continued: “Our approval is a significant milestone for Mylan, for the global public health community and, most importantly, for patients who are battling this pandemic. Developing DESREM™ and bringing it to patients in India with such unprecedented speed is a testament to the strength of our global operations and scientific capabilities and our commitment to serving patients who continue to rely on us during this time. We are proud to continue our work in support of public health in partnership with governments and other stakeholders as we work together in the fight against COVID-19.”

Rakesh Bamzai, President, India and Emerging Markets, said: “The growing global threat of COVID-19 requires a commitment to action by everyone involved in public health. Mylan is cognizant of its responsibility in fighting this pandemic and will leverage its global resources and capabilities including R&D, regulatory, manufacturing and supply chain, while engaging with key stakeholders across the licensed territories to serve the patients in need and further its mission of creating better health for a better world.”

Mylan previously announced a global collaboration agreement with Gilead Sciences for the commercialization of remdesivir in 127 low- and middle-income countries, including India. Mylan has a long-standing history of partnering with Gilead to tackle key public health issues in India and around the world, beginning with expanding access to high quality, affordable HIV/AIDS antiretrovirals and now extending its partnership to include COVID19 treatments. Remdesivir is the tenth medicine licensed to Mylan by Gilead, who signed their first agreement in 2006 for the HIV medicine, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate.

As a leading global pharmaceutical company, Mylan is committed to continue doing its part in support of public health needs. As the situation around COVID-19 continues to evolve, Mylan’s priorities remain protecting the health and safety of its workforce, continuing to produce critically needed medicines, deploying our resources and expertise in the fight against COVID-19 through potential prevention and treatment efforts, and supporting the communities in which we operate.

About Remdesivir

Generic drug maker Hetero has received the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) approval to manufacture and sell its generic version of Gilead’s Remdesivir for the treatment of Covid-19 patients in the country.

The generic version will be marketed under the brand name ‘Covifor’ in India, Hetero said about the product that is being manufactured at its facility in Hyderabad.

DCGI had granted approval for use of Remdesivir in the treatment of suspected or laboratory-confirmed cases of Covid-19 in adults and children, hospitalised with severe symptoms of the disease. 

Covifor (Remdesivir) will be available in 100 mg vial (Injectable) which has to be administered intravenously in a hospital setting under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner, Hetero said.

Sources in the company said since the product has been approved for Emergency Use and for use in hospital / institutional set up only, it will not be retailed through chemists. Instead Covifor will be made available to hospitals treating Covid-19 patients. The supplies are expected to begin in a week.

Each 100 mg vial is likely to be priced between ₹5,000 and ₹6,000. The drug is to be administered only after getting the consent of the patients.

“While Glenmark’s Covid-19 drug was made available in the oral form of tablets, Hetero’s drug is being made available in the Injectable form (100mg vial) to be administered intravenously in a hospital setting under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner”.

 Approval to launch Covifor (Remdesivir) in the light of increaseing Covid-19 cases in India “can prove to be a game-changer given its positive clinical outcomes,” said Hetero group chairman Dr B. Partha Saradhi Reddy

A significant milestone for Hetero and an important development in India's fight against COVID-19 pandemic. Proud to be the first company to gain DCGI approval for generic drug Remedesivir. It will be marketed under the brand name 'Covifor' for treatment of patients hospitalised with severe symptoms.

Anti-viral drug Favipiravir approved for treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 patients will be commercialised full scale in a week, says drug maker Glenmark Pharmaceuticals.

Glenmark’s Fabiflu is the first oral Favipiravir-approved medication for the treatment of COVID-19 and has been launched in few centers. The Drug Controller General of India approved the anti-viral for 'restricted emergency use' for treatment of mild to moderate cases, which accounts for a majority of COVID-19 infections.

" The drug will be available as a 200 mg tablet at a maximum retail price (MRP) of Rs 3,500 for a strip of 34 tablets, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals said.
FabiFlu is the first oral favipiravir-approved medication in India for the treatment of COVID-19, it said in a statement".

It is a prescription-based medication, with recommended dose being 1,800 mg twice daily on day one, followed by 800 mg twice daily up to day 14, it added.
The tablets are being produced by the company at its Baddi facility in Himachal Pradesh. The drug will be available both through hospitals and the retail channel, Glenmark said.

The Mumbai-based firm had on Friday received the manufacturing and marketing approval from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI).

Glenmark Life Sciences partners the world’s top 20 generic companies to supply them with a wide range of high-quality, industry-leading Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs).

We have steadily built scale in our product offerings & reach.

The company has developed the API and the formulation for FabiFlu through its in-house research and development team, Glenmark said.

“We chose to initiate work on Favipiravir, as it has proven in-vitro activity against SARS CoV2 virus, which is the virus responsible for Covid-19.

“Second is it has a wide therapeutic safety margin for Covid-19 at the dose that we administer,” Glenmark Pharmaceuticals President India Formulations, Middle East and Africa Sujesh Vasudevan said at an online press conference.

Life after Lockdown. What's the first thing you will do..!!!

22:49:00 0


The government can only hold a lockdown for a certain period of time.  The lockdown will end slowly.  The government also will not show such strictness because the government has made you aware about corona disease, social distancing, hand sanitization etc.

You are also seeing the trauma to be faced when someone gets sick in your neighborhood. Now those who are sensible understand their routine and follow it in future.

🗽 The government cannot and will not guard you 24 hours, 365 days.

👉 The future of you and your family is in your hands.

 🚶  After the lockdown opens, think carefully, leave the house and go to work and do your work as per the rules.

Do you think, after May 17, the Corona will suddenly go away and we will start living like before?

 👉👉👉 No, not at all .

 This virus has taken root in our country and we have to learn to live with it.

How long will the government keep the lockdown?  How long will the exit be banned ?

👉 Now we have to fight this virus ourselves, by changing our lifestyle, by strengthening our immunity.

👍 We have to adapt a life style hundreds of years old.

👅 Eat a pure diet, eat pure spices. Rely on Amla, Aloe vera, Ginger, Pepper, Cloves etc.

👊 Free yourself from the clutches of antibiotics. 

🍎 You have to increase the amount of nutritious food in your life and forget fast foods like pizza, burgers, cold drinks.

🍚 We have to change our utensils, we have to adapt to heavy vessels like brass, bronze, copper from aluminum, steel etc. which naturally eliminate the virus also.

☕ The amount of milk, curd, ghee will have to be increased in your diet.

🍟 Forget the taste of the tongue and avoid spicy, fried hotel food and street side garbage.

👉  This has to be done for at least the next 7-8 months.  Only then will we be able to survive. And those who do not change will be in trouble.

👉👉👉👉 At least follow this some guideline to protect yourself..
1. Sanitisation (wash your hands with soap for at least 20 to 30 seconds)
2. Do Not Touch Your Face with Unwashed Hands
3. Maintain Social Distance (Keep a distance of at least 1 meter from others)
4. Avoid public places, public transport, malls, markets & functions.
5. Build Immunity through Spices and Other Foods
6. Practice Respiratory Hygiene

👍👍👍👍 Accept this and start implementing them.

 💑 Life is your decision!

🏠 🏠 🏠  STAY HEALTHY... STAY SAFE
