AUROBINDO'S PRODUCT INCLUDED IN WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) PRE-QUALIFICATION LIST

 
Aurobindo Pharma Limited is glad to announce that the World Health Organization (WHO), Geneva, has included one more product of Aurobindo’s in its pre-qualification list.
The WHO has included Nevirapine tablets - 200 mg manufactured by Aurobindo in its pre-qualification list. This is Aurobindo’s fourth product to be included in the list. The other products included are Zidovudine tablets - 300 mg, Lamivudine tablets - 150 mg & Lamivudine tablets - 300 mg. This is one more milestone for Aurobindo Pharma Limited.
Nevirapine is a key ARV in the treatment of AIDS. Nevirapine is in the class of drugs called non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), which helps keep the AIDS virus from reproducing.  This antiretroviral drug is used in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
All the four products form part of Anti Retrovirals (ARVs), which help Aids/HIV affected countries to provide cost effective treatment. The global fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria disburses money for medicines that have been pre-qualified by the WHO process.
