The tentative approval designation means the drug meets FDA safety and efficacy standards but cannot be sold in the U.S. because of existing patents or exclusivity agreements (Kaiser Daily HIV/AIDS Report, 5/31). The tentative approval allows Cipla to produce for PEPFAR an oral solution of lamivudine, which belongs to a drug class called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, at strengths of 10mg per ml, the Hindu reports (Hindu, 6/27).
