Zydus Lifesciences launches ANVIMO for transplant patients

05 Mar 2025 Evaluate

Zydus Lifesciences has launched ANVIMO (Letermovir), a breakthrough in the prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection for haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and kidney transplant patients. ANVIMO will be available in dosages of 240 mg and 480 mg. ANVIMO provides a safer, well-tolerated, and effective alternative, offering superior safety and reduced side effects while improving transplant outcomes. 

Transplantation is a life-saving but financially burdensome procedure in India. The high cost of post-transplant care, particularly CMV prophylaxis, adds to the burden. Until now, innovator Letermovir 240 mg was imported at Rs 5 lakh + per month, severely limiting access. With the launch of ANVIMO, the company has significantly reduced the cost by 91% of the innovator price, making treatment of CMV prophylaxis significantly more affordable for Indian patients. ANVIMO has established bioequivalence with the reference drug, ensuring quality at a fraction of the cost.

With ANVIMO, the company is transforming CMV prophylaxis in India, ensuring that more transplant patients receive timely, effective, and affordable care, ultimately improving survival rates and quality of life.

Zydus Lifesciences (formerly known as Cadila Healthcare), a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in India, operates as an integrated pharmaceutical company with business encompassing the entire value chain in the research, development, production, marketing and distribution of pharmaceutical products.
