India is ready to provide the world with cheap generic version bird flu drug as soon as February of 2006. This may be a survival issue for many parts of the world.

A major Indian pharmaceutical company has said it plans to bring a generic version of the anti-influenza drug Tamiflu to market early next year, thus filling any potential shortages in the event of a bird flu epidemic.

The drug is already in short supply following fears of a possible epidemic. But the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche Holding AG, which makes Tamiflu, has refused to license generic versions of the drug despite pressure from several countries and United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan.

Dr. Yusuf K. Hamied, chairman of Cipla Ltd., said Friday that his company has already developed the generic version, oseltamivir, which would be much cheaper than Tamiflu _ the only available drug that is effective in treatment of people infected with bird flu.

"We have been able to synthesize it. Once the lab work is done things don''t take too long," Hamied said in a telephone interview from Spain, where he was attending an international symposium on AIDS. "We are in the process of scaling up and commercialization. That should be completed next month."

Hamied did not disclose how his company would price the generic version, but said it would be available at "a humanitarian price."
