LONDON, Aug 18 —The World Health Organisation called toay on Roche to ensure fair distribution of its arthritis drug used to treat Covid-19 patients as supplies of the drug run low due to rising cases driven by the more infectious Delta variant., Roche’s US unit Genentech warned of a global shortage of tocilizumab, sold by Roche as Actemra and RoActemra, which will last at least for the next few weeks.
The company has also contracted manufacturers to transfer technologies and boost output last year before it was used for Covid-19 patients, it said.
