Is Entyvio available in India?

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

However, patients in India can legally access Entyvio through the Named Patient Program (NPP) — an import provision that allows patients to receive medicines approved in other countries but not yet marketed in India, under a doctor's prescription and proper regulatory documentation.

Entyvio received US FDA approval in 2014 for ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, ensuring full transparency throughout the process.
