Brinton gets nod from DCGI for favipiravir in India

Pharma Company, Brinton Pharmaceuticals has received green signal from Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) for marketing of favipiravir under the brand name faviton. The drug will be marketed in India and exported globally by the company and will be available in 200 mg tablets.

Our strategic intent will be to improve the access through our strong distribution network that will help make faviton available across all COVID treatment centres and our MRP is Rs 59 per tablet”.
