The approval for Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (TLD) 300/300/50mg fixed dose combination (FDC) was given under the US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, the company said in a release. The TLD will be available in the generic form in low and middle income countries, it said. The drug will be manufactured from the company’s Unit 2 located at APSEZ, Atchutapuram, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Commenting on the USFDA approval, Laurus Labs CEO Satyanarayana Chava said, “It is a significant approval for Laurus Labs which has forayed into finished dosage forms recently. This product would demonstrate the company’s capability to develop fixed dose combinations of ARVs (antiretroviral). Laurus Labs has also received an Establishment Inspection Report from the USFDA for its Unit 6 located at APSEZ, Atchutapuram, on February 2, it said.
