    "Mumbai: It can't get more ironic than this. At a time when the government is odd at ease controlling the sale of key swine flu drug oseltamivir, sold under the brand name Tamiflu, another swine flu drug, zanamivir, has started hitting shop shelves with abandon.
    snip
    ...about 10 days ago, Mumbai-based Cipla launched the generic version of zanamivir (brand name is Virenza) at retail chemists in Mumbai, Pune, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. It is also available in a chemist store in New Delhi.

    According to a source, who happens to be an official of the company, Virenza is priced at Rs 800 for one course, which consists of 20 capsules to be administered over five days (four per day). The price also includes the inhalation device."

    I wonder if Biota's getting any royalties from this?
