The exclusive launch of Teva's generic version of Reyataz marks the company's fifth generic product offering for the treatment of HIV-1 infection.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries has announced the exclusive launch of a generic version of Reyataz (atazanavir) capsules in the US.
Atazanavir sulfate capsules are a protease inhibitor indicated for use in combination with other antiretroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection for patients 6 years and older weighing at least 15 kg.
“The exclusive launch of our generic version of Reyataz marks our fifth generic product offering for the treatment of HIV-1 infection,” said Brendan O’Grady, Executive Vice President, North America Commercial at Teva. “Antiviral medications continue to be a focus for Teva Generics, and this is an important addition to our portfolio.”
With nearly 600 generic medicines available, Teva has the largest portfolio of FDA-approved generic products on the market and holds the leading position in first-to-file opportunities, with over 100 pending first-to-files in the U.S. Currently, one in seven generic prescriptions dispensed in the US is filled with a Teva generic product.
Reyataz had annual sales of approximately $402 million in the US., according to IMS data as of October 2017.
