Anti-Infectives

Advancing Infection Care with Proven Therapies

Anti-infectives encompass a broad class of therapies, including antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitic designed to treat bacterial, viral, fungal, and protozoal infections. These therapies play a critical role in modern healthcare by reducing morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases.

In India, anti-infectives represent the third-largest category in the pharmaceutical market, demonstrating consistent growth over the past two decades despite evolving public health dynamics. A key global and national challenge within this therapy area is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). As per the World Health Organization, AMR is a growing threat to global health, placing populations at heightened risk.

The high burden of infectious diseases also presents a significant opportunity to strengthen healthcare outcomes through responsible prescribing, improved stewardship, and the availability of effective, high-quality anti-infective therapies.

We at Lupin strive to bring novel anti-infectives to India through various tie-ups. We continuously address infectious diseases through a comprehensive, science-driven approach.
