Lupin gains as its arm launches Generic Trizivir Tablets

The promoters holding in the company stood at 46.78% while Institutions and Non-Institutions held 43.52% and 9.69% respectively. Pharma Major Lupin’s  US subsidiary-Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. has launched  Abacavir Sulfate, Lamivudine, and Zidovudine Tablets, 300mg (base) / 150mg / 300mg in the US after the US District Court for the District of Delaware ruled that the Lupin’s generic version of Trizivir did not infringe on patents. Lupin had earlier received approval for the same.

Lupin’s Abacavir Sulfate, Lamivudine Zidovudine 300mg (Base)/150mg/300mg Tablets are the AB‐rated generic equivalent of ViiV Healthcare’s (ViiV) Trizivir Tablets, 300mg (base) / 150mg / 300mg and are indicated in combination with other antiretrovirals or alone for the treatment of HIV‐1 infection. Lupin is the first applicant to file an ANDA for Trizivir Tablets and as such is entitled to 180 days of marketing exclusivity.

Trizivir Tablets, 300mg (base) / 150mg / 300mg had annual U.S sales of approximately $ 111.6 million (IMS MAT Sep, 2013).
