  • A valid prescription from a qualified doctor

Is Benlysta available in India?

Benlysta (belimumab injection) is a prescription medicine that legally requires a doctor's prescription to be dispensed. As of current publicly available information, Benlysta is not commercially marketed in India.

However, patients in India can legally access Benlysta through the Named Patient Program (NPP) — an import provision that allows a medicine not yet registered in India to be imported in the name of a specific patient for their personal treatment, under a valid prescription.

Benlysta received US FDA approval in 2011, with expanded lupus nephritis and pediatric indications approved through 2022, ensuring full transparency throughout the process.

Benlysta can be made available to patients, doctors, and hospitals across major cities in India, including Gurgaon, Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Hyderabad, Mysore, Kerala, Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara, Pune, Nagpur, Nashik, Jaipur, Udaipur, Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Chandigarh, Mohali, Faridabad, Noida, Ghaziabad, Kochi, Trivandrum, Kozhikode, Thrissur, Kannur, Mangalore, Bhubaneswar, Patna, Ranchi, Raipur, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Goa, Jammu, Srinagar, Dehradun, Bhopal, Indore, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and others — and can facilitate delivery to the patient's treating hospital. Orders are confirmed only after receipt of a valid doctor's prescription and an import permit, where applicable.

Sourcing & Delivery

NamedPatientProgram.com (NPP) can source Benlysta from reliable global channels and facilitate supply to patients, doctors, and hospitals under applicable legal provisions. As a temperature-sensitive biologic, Benlysta requires cold-chain handling throughout transit and must be kept refrigerated between 2°C to 8°C, protected from light, and never frozen. All prescriptions are dispensed and checked by registered pharmacists and dispatched from New Delhi, India, after legal requirements are fulfilled.
