Glaxo Plans Another Price Cut in AIDS Drugs to Poor CountriesJune 11, 2001 GlaxoSmithKline PLC will announce today another round of price reductions for AIDS drugs in poor countries. The list price for three AIDS drugs -- Ziagen, Trizivir and Agenerase -- will be reduced to cost in 63 of the world's poorest countries. But even at those discounts, Jean-Pierre Garnier, Glaxo's chief executive, admitted the prices will keep the drugs out of reach for most patients.
