Mylan – a global pharmaceutical company, is working with Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to launch pretomanid, a medicine used to treat drug- resistant tuberculosis (TB), a top official of the US drug major has said. This drug is important for India because Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India would get rid of tuberculosis by 2025, he added. Also, Modi launched a campaign to eradicate TB from India by 2025, five years ahead of a globally-set deadline. TB Alliance was currently advancing the development of pretomanid in three ongoing late-stage clinical trials, Mylan had said in April. Mylan’s roots are in the U.S., and their products can likely be found in most American homes. In 2017 alone, Mylan’s generics saved the nation’s healthcare system approximately $20.4 billion.
