Aurobindo Pharma gets DCGI’s permission to manufacture, distribute generic version of Molnupiravir

29 Dec 2021 Evaluate

Aurobindo Pharma has received the Drugs Controller General of India’s (DCGI’s) permission to manufacture and distribute its in-licensed generic version of MSD (a trade name of Merck & Co., Inc, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) and Ridgeback’s Molnupiravir, to be marketed as Molnaflu. Earlier this year, Aurobindo had signed a non-exclusive voluntary licensing agreement with Merck Sharpe Dohme, Singapore (MSD), a subsidiary of Merck & Co. (US) to manufacture and supply Molnupiravir to over 100 low and middle-income countries (LMIC), including India.

Molnupiravir is the first oral antiviral approved by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (UKMHRA) for the treatment of mild-to-moderate COVID -19 in adults. It has also been recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) and under Emergency Use Authorisation (EUA).

Aurobindo Pharma is engaged in manufacturing pharmaceutical products. It offers active pharmaceutical ingredients, intermediates and generic formulations like astemizole, domeperidone and omeprazole; anti-infective, oral and sterile antibiotics, pain management and osteoporosis segments.
