For budgeting purposes, when two prices are given for a product, we would advise to apply the higher one. For assistance in estimating the costs of an order or to confirm the price of a product, please contact GDF (gdf@who.int).

- The 1st line paediatric products indicated are those available at this time. However, as other WHO recommended paediatric products - i.e. Ethambutol 100mg - and formulations - e.g. child-friendly/dispersible - become available, these will be added to the GDF catalogue.

GDF offers a selective range of high-quality anti-TB drugs
Conform to WHO recommended TB treatment guidelines
The GDF products enable the physician to treat a patient according to the latest WHO treatment guidelines.
Conform to the WHO Essential Drugs List
All GDF products are on the WHO essential drugs list, which facilitates registration and importation (with the exception of R150 mg/H75 mg/E275 mg.)
FDC formulations
The use of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) tablets greatly contributes to rational drug use and assists in effective DOTS implementation and expansion.
FDC tablets reduce the number of tablets a patient needs to take, while avoiding mono-therapy and thereby reducing the risks of developing Multidrug-Resistant TB (MDR-TB).
