Description of competitive advantages

For 30 years, the antiviral aerosol "Aerus" (now renamed "Antiprovir") has been developed. After completing the cycle of clinical trials from 1994 to 2004, Patent No. 2425691 was obtained. In 2009, the company submitted documentation to the Ministry of Health of Russia and received Registration Certificate No. LSR-000280/10. Since 2012, the drug has been supplied to Russia, particularly to the Ministry of Defense of Russia under a contract. In 2023, the drug "Aerus" was included among the priority Russian developments and was presented as an innovative drug at the BRICS summit. Production is now approved at the "Altaivitamins" plant, and a pilot batch of the medicine has been produced.
