CDSCO clears Dr Reddy’s generic lenacapavir as HIV injection prices may fall
Dr Reddy’s Laboratories plans to expand its generic HIV portfolio with lenacapavir injections after India’s CDSCO approved manufacturing and marketing without phase-III trials. Estimates suggest prices could drop 50% to 70% from up to ₹3,500 per dose. Dr Reddy’s licensed royalty-free manufacturing in India and 120 low-income countries, while Aurigene secured a long-term contract to supply sterile injectables and biologics.
