Long-term medication involves affordability and measure of costs for taking medicines for patients. HIV patients who undergo ART, require bulk medicines which should be available to them at the right time. Pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics treating such patients need to stock them at all times rather than give orders at the last minute for emergencies. Antiretroviral medicines from India are helping several customers to build their inventory.
Lotus International is a contract manufacturing company in the business of producing bulk anti-HIV medicines from India. Keeping the costs in control is a primary concern for us to keep patients living longer. This post offers insight into how costs are curtailed to meet global demands for medication.
Regime for generic Antiretroviral medicines
Once a popular brand’s patent expires, it is possible to produce low-cost generic drugs. This is the chief cost-cutting measure rather than compromising on the quality. For example, Isentress is a popular label with the drug name Raltegravir.
At the labs in Lotus International’s facility, we make 400 mg tablets. It is a crucial medication to treat an HIV patient. In the global markets, the brand Isentress is expensive. It has a powerful potency to treat HIV which eventually results in AIDS. The composition has been created to stop viruses from attacking the human body. It reduces the levels of HIV in the body. As it also minimizes the complications the life span of the patient increases.
Generic versions save money
Currently, there are more than 40 different drugs available to treat HIV. They are classified into 6 types depending on how they stop the breaking of the virus cycle. Many of them are made by contract manufacturing in Asia. Anti-HIV medicines from India are popular due to their low costs.
The cost savings of the generic versions prolongs treatments. When the drugs are purchased in bulk the medical bills also drop considerably. Patients who are reluctant to get treated opt for low-cost generic brands.
Economic-conscious ART drugs
The entire treatment of HIV is changing with new ART drugs. The biggest benefit is that fewer side effects, enhanced durability of survival, and lower drug resistance. It is more effective than the ‘3-drug cocktail’ used in the past by doctors. A global brand called Duovir with an API called Lamivudine is available in 150 mg along with Zudovudine (300 mg tablets). It is a vital part of Antiretroviral therapy for patients. It is one of the approved list of drugs to treat people with HIV. Now, there is a big economic interest in using less expensive medicines. Once they are established for clinical efficiency and safety bulk purchases are convenient even for patients.
The cost of an average regime for the HIV patient still works out to be expensive. But bulk manufacturing and volumes help people to buy at reasonable prices. It assists in the first and second lines of therapies being considered globally.
Lotus International helps in reducing the pill burden with effective viral suppression for HIV patients with its bulk manufacturing of tablets. There is no alteration in the drug frequency and generic components from anti-HIV medicines from India. We look forward to inquiries from global companies and stockists to meet their bulk requirements.
