  USFDA Approves Anti-retroviral Formulation

  United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has approved a new anti-retroviral formulation that can be mixed with food, which will make it easier for children living with HIV to take their life-saving medicines.

  This information was heard in a joint statement issued on Saturday, June 6, by the United Nations (UN) Programme on HIV/AID (UNAIDS) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

   

  The UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidibe, said treatment innovations such as the one that replaces unpleasant and bad-tasting medicines were a real breakthrough.

   

  According to Sidibe, the new development will aid access to treatment for children faster and keep them healthy.
