Since the outbreak of Covid-19 last year, Indian drug manufacturers have launched a record number of patented drugs despite the country not issuing any compulsory licence, thanks to the voluntary licensing system.
Besides Covid-19 vaccines Covishield and Sputnik V, five patented drugs have been launched in the country through voluntary licence deals with original patent holders for their manufacturing and marketing. These include remdesivir by Gilead Sciences, baricitinib by Eli Lilly, tocilizumab by Roche, molnupiravir by Merck, and a Covid-19 tablet by Ennaid Therapeutics.

Opioid Crisis Fast Facts
Here’s a look at the opioid crisis.
Opioids are drugs formulated to replicate the pain-reducing properties of opium. Prescription painkillers like morphine, oxycodone and hydrocodone are opioids. Illegal drugs like heroin and illicitly made fentanyl are also opioids. The word “opioid” is derived from the word “opium.”
Common Opioids
Hydrocodone and oxycodone are semi-synthetic opioids, manufactured in labs with natural and synthetic ingredients.
Fentanyl is a fully synthetic opioid, originally developed as a powerful anesthetic for surgery. It is also administered to alleviate severe pain associated with terminal illnesses like cancer. The drug is up to 100 times more powerful than morphine. Just a small dose can be deadly. Illicitly produced fentanyl has been a driving factor in the number of overdose deaths in recent years.
