Matrix HIV/AIDS drug receives tentative approval from FDA

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted tentative approval for Matrix Laboratories' new drug application (NDA) of Lamivudine / Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets, 300mg/300mg, co-packaged with Nevirapine Tablets, 200mg.

Matrix’s Lamivudine / Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets, 300mg/300mg are generic equivalent to
Epivir of GlaxoSmithKline, Viread of Gilead Sciences and Viramune of Boehringer Ingelheim.

According to the Mylan’s subsidiary Matrix, this co-pack of ARV products is indicated for pregnant women suffering from HIV/AIDS in certain countries where Lamivudine, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate and Nevirapine are approved for use during pregnancy.

Mylan president Heather Bresch said the approval of Lamivudine / Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate Tablets co-packaged with Nevirapine Tablets is an important product developed by Matrix for the treatment of HIV/AIDS.
