Atorvastatin generic
February 22, 2012
RANBAXY has announced that
the first generic of atorvastatin in
Australia, Trovas (atorvastatin
calcium trihydrate), will be
available to order by Aussie
pharmacies this week.
Listed on the PBS from 01 April,
Trovas is available to order now
due to an agreement between
Ranbaxy and Pfizer in 2008 which
enabled Ranbaxy’s atorvastatin
molecule to be launched from 19
Feb 2012, only a few months after
the US release in Nov 2011.
As such, Trovas is available in 10,
20, 40 and 80mg strengths in
blister and bottle packs of 30’s and
in 100’s, with bottles packaged to
clearly differentiate between
strengths.
To celebrate the launch, Ranbaxy
is offering a Launch Price Offer,
saying “there are no delayed
rebates” and “no hiding behind
previously earned credits in order
to make our price look good”.
