Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 11 (ANI): The Maharashtra Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) on Thursday said it is working to bring down the cost of the Remdesivir 100 mg injection, used for treating critical COVID-19 patients.
"The Maharashtra FDA has found that manufacturers are supplying this injection at a cheaper cost of Rs 800- Rs 1300 due to comparatively lesser demands than the initial days. But patients are not getting the benefit of the same cheaper prices. They are forced to purchase the injection at higher costs which are printed as MRP," the FDA said in the statement.
