Cipla Ltd announced this week that its proposed biotech subsidiary in South Africa will invest just over R1.3 billion into the country's first state-of-the-art biotech manufacturing facility, for the production of biosimilars. Cipla Ltd is a global pharmaceutical company and owner of Cipla Medpro, South Africa’s third largest pharmaceutical manufacturer, as well as Cipla BioTec, a biotechnology company focused on affordable and accessible biopharmaceuticals.
On the eve of World AIDS Day, Cipla Ltd., a global pharmaceutical company, announced its readiness to supply its combinations Tenofovir/Emtricitabine/Efavirenz and Tenofovir/ Lamivudine /Efavirenz with a dose of 400 mg of Efavirenz as a first-line initial therapy for HIV infection.
The US FDA has granted approval to Cipla's Lopinavir, Ritonavir (LPV/r) 40mg/ 10 mg oral pellets for paediatric specific treatment of HIV in infants. Cipla was working for many years in collaboration with Diana Gibb, professor of epidemiology, senior programme leader and honorary consultant paediatrician at Medical Research Council Clinical Trials Unit at UCL (University College London) towards development of this novel child-friendly formulation which has been approved by US FDA under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) programme. This product is a first step in making accessible more modern and appropriately formulated treatment available to the most vulnerable of HIV patients – young children.
