Natco Pharma has received approval for the generic version of ledipasvir+sofosbuvir combination from Drugs Controller General (India). The company plans to launch this combination drug immediately, under its brand name Hepcinat LP, and through its strategic partners in India. Ledipasvir+Sofosbuvir is a two-drug fixed-dose combination product that contains 90 mg of ledipasvir and 400 mg of sofosbuvir in a single tablet, and sold globally by Gilead Sciences, Inc., under its brand HARVONI. It is indicated for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) genotype 1 infection in adults. This single-tablet regimen is the first of its kind to offer significantly higher cure rates in Genotype-1 CHC infection compared to conventional therapies.
The company will price its generic medicine, Hepcinat LP, at an MRP of Rs 25,000 for a bottle of 28 tablets. The company was the first licensed company to launch the generic version of this combination drug earlier in Nepal. The company had signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences earlier in 2015 to manufacture and sell generic versions of its chronic hepatitis C medicines, including generic version of HARVONI, in 100 other developing countries in addition to India.
Natco Pharma was promoted as a private company to be in the business of research, developing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical substances and finished dosage forms for Indian and International markets.
