Zydus Cadila had recently signed a non-exclusive licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences to manufacture Sofosbuvir and the fixed dose combination of Ledipasvir/ Sofosbuvir for distribution in 91 developing countries including India.

The company said that the medicine will be marketed by the speciality division of the group, Zydus Heptiza. "Zydus Heptiza, a speciality division of the group has complete basket of brands for Hepatitis B and C. The addition of SoviHep shall complete this critical care portfolio," it added.
