AUROBINDO PHARMA LAUNCHES AZTREONAM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN INDIA
Aurobindo Pharma Ltd. continues its thrust in the area of high-end antibiotics with the launch of Aztreonam. Aztreonam is a monobactam and is most lethal against psuedomonas, a dreaded pathogen in hospital infections. Aztreonam is structurally different from beta-lactam antibiotics like Penicillin and Cephalosporin.

Aztreonam has been launched for the first time in India and currently Aurobindo Pharma is supplying this bulk drug to various markets abroad.

The successful synthesis of Aztreonam demonstrates the strong capabilities of Aurobindo Pharma's R&D that has been consistently developing products
involving complex chemistry.
