CIPLA'S 3-in-One Drug

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

This is pretty interesting news!! At first I

thought, Cipla does trizivir.

Then one reads further. I think this is a pretty

remarkable idea but would like to know the dosages

of each. Still, if it dramatically enhances

adherence and works--well, it could be a remarkable

advance.

What do people think? Maybe more such combinations

could be formulated by companies who can do things

based on health instead of profit margins. (not

to say Cipla won't make some money--but the amounts

they make are, in my view, normal, healthy business

profit, not outrageous, genocidal fucking greed of

our companies here in the US).

Dear M. and others,

First lot of limited quantity of Triomune has come for consumption of people

with HIV/AIDS. Two different dosage size are being marketed. It contains

Lamuvudine 150 mg, Stavudine 30 or 40 mg and Nevirapine 200 mg.

Triomune-30 (with stavudine 30 mg) : One tablet twice a day, for those adult

patients below 60 kg Triomune -40 (with stavudine 40 mg): One tablet twice a

day, for those adult patients above 60 kg

Pack size of 30 tablets, Price Rs. 900 and 930/- (monthly Rs. 1800 and

1860/-) Those patients less than 30 or 40 kg can take half the recommended

doses. Most economical and least side effects, suitable for patient compliance;

will bound to have better compliance even in developing countries, despite

reservation by western researchers.

If the crtieria of plasma Viral Load for monitoring could be avoided and if

the interval between follow-up investigations is widened, the monitoring

costs can be drastically reduced.

Sincerely yours,

Dr.Gilada
