New Delhi, Jan 4 (PTI): Dr Reddy\u2019s Laboratories on Tuesday said it will launch Molflu (Molnupiravir) at Rs 35 per capsule to treat COVID-19 in the country.Molflu will be priced at Rs 35 per capsule, a spokesperson of the Hyderabad-based drug maker said in a statement.With 10 capsules per strip, the total course of 40 capsules over 5 days would cost Rs 1,400, making it among the most affordable treatment options available to patients, it added.<\/p>\n
\u201cMolflu is expected to be available from early next week in pharmacies throughout the country with particular focus on states with high caseload of COVID-19,\u201d the spokesperson noted.Last year, Dr Reddy\u2019s entered into a non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreement with Merck Sharpe Dohme (MSD) to manufacture and supply Molnupiravir to India and over 100 low and middle-income countries (LMICs).<\/p>\n
In a first-of-its-kind collaboration in the Indian pharmaceutical industry, a Dr Reddy\u2019s-led consortium of pharma companies collaborated to jointly sponsor, supervise and monitor the Phase III clinical trial of Molnupiravir in India, and presented its findings to the Subject Expert Committee.<\/p>\n
Last week, Dr Reddy\u2019s received emergency-use authorisation from the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) to manufacture and market oral antiviral drug Molnupiravir capsules 200 mg for the treatment of adult patients with COVID-19 who have high risk of progression of the disease including hospitalisation or death.Molflu will be manufactured at a USFDA-approved facility, and the drug maker has made adequate capacity preparations to ensure that it is able to help patients in need, it said.<\/p>\n
