Hyderabad March 12 The Hyderabad-based Natco Pharma Ltd has decided to support 10,000 breast cancer patients with free supply of the generic version of Arimidex Anastrazole. The supplies would be made through select cancer research institutes/cancer hospitals all over the country.

Internationally priced at $5 per tablet, patients are required to take one tablet each day, the company said in a press release here today.

The move is part of the company's ambitious drug access programme and attempts to de-mystify the general notion that "generic companies do not provide access programs" and "that they do not contribute to making medicines available to poor patients who cannot pay for their medicines".
