Shares of Natco Pharma on Tuesday jumped almost 15% after the company announced that it has received approvals to market first generic copy of hepatitis C drug sofosbuvir from the Drug Controller General (India). Despite the relatively recent launch of the patented form of the drug, the production of generics (copies that include the same active ingredients and that are available at a lower price) is already underway in India and Nepal. Expensive treatments such as these are unaffordable for a large part of the hepatitis C population in the developing countries, creating a high need for generic drug-makers to come up with low-cost versions of these treatments in order to enable the low-income part of the world to have access to the treatments. In January, the patent office in India denied a patent on sofosbuvir, the active ingredient in Sovaldi, after challenges were filed by I-MAK and others.

Incepta, however, will still be required to fulfill the prequalification program of the World Health Organization to qualify for a standard drug quality, before its generic version could be sold outside Bangladesh. Incepta's price for its generic Sovaldi is about $900 (about 29,000 baht) for 12 weeks - the same price at which Gilead will offer its branded version of the drug in India. The patent challenge hearings have brought to the fore the differences among India's generic drug makers and reignited the debate surrounding compulsory licensing and voluntary licensing. These products are available in onlinefor the convenient of patients from different area.

Sovaldi generated $10.3 billion in sales for the company in 2014; Gilead would definitely want to continue this sales momentum in 2015 and beyond.
