Strides gets tentative approval for AIDS drug Nevirapine
By Elaine Rigoli
Tampa, Fla., Aug. 14 - Strides Arcolab, Ltd. has received tentative approval from the Food and Drug Administration for Nevirapine tablets 200 mg.
"This approval represents significant opportunity for Strides to commercialize Nevirapine - a key anti-retro viral in the treatment of AIDS," vice chairman and chief executive officer Arun Kumar said in a news release.
The company said it has four applications under review with the FDA under the same program and another four in the pipeline for submission. The company already has five World Health Organization pre-qualified anti-retro virals, which are supplied to more than 37 countries in Africa and Asia.
The company is also partnering with the Clinton Foundation to ensure availability of affordable quality generic anti-retro virals in least-developed countries.
Strides is a pharmaceutical company based in Bangalore, India.
