Anti-viral drugs Industry Updates

In October 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a new antiviral drug for the treatment of acute influenza in patients above the age of 12 years. Xofluza is the first new antiviral drug with a novel mechanism of action and will be helpful in the treatment of patients who have been symptomatic for not more than 48 hours.

October 2018, the results of a clinical trial of British biotech ViiV Healthcare shows that HIV could be treated with monthly antiviral injections instead of daily drugs. The antiviral two-drug combination injectable is reported to have the same viral suppression effect as three-drug combinations and reduces the risk of harmful interactions with other medication.

Impact of Covid-19 on the Anti-Viral Drugs Market

Market Research Future (MRFR) collected data on several factors including implications of COVID 19 Impact on  Anti-Viral Drugs Market and demographic challenges, showed how it could move forward in the coming years.

Corona Virus (Covid-19) has impacted every single industry, causing steep roads into the global economy. One such industry that has had both positive and negative impacts is the anti-viral drugs market.  Coronavirus has negatively impacted by causing disruptions not only in the production of pharmaceuticals but also caused troubles in the supply chain. However positively it has impacted by showing great results in treating covid positive patients.

The concerns started aggravating by the fact that COVID-19 struck first, and worst, in China, which is the world’s one of the leading producers and exporters of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) by volume. The majority of APIs for generic drug manufacturing across the globe are sourced from India, which also supplies approximately 30 percent of the generic APIs used in the US. However, Indian manufacturers rely heavily on APIs from China for the production of their formulations, procuring around 70 percent from China.

With an indefinite lockdown in China due to the deadly coronavirus outbreak, supplies of raw materials from China to produce drugs for treating HIV, cancer, epilepsy, malaria, and also commonly used antibiotics and vitamin pills, are also likely to be hit.
