Tamiflu price to drop
Updated as of 5:07PM, 07/07/2009

Roche Philippines said in a press release today that it would be bringing down the wholesale price of its anti-viral drug, oseltamivir, better known as Tamiflu, to P880 for one box of 10 capsules.

The company said that the price reduction is “on top of significant actions undertaken by Roche to ensure adequate supply of Tamiflu to all parts of the world.” The company has also donated oseltamivir to the government.

Tamiflu is sold in drugstores for around P1,500 per box, but Roche said in its statement that it “has no control over the retail price” of the medicine.
