We should be grateful if you would kindly forward this information to the appropriate, interested persons.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have participated in this work and helped us in this achievement. 

In addition to completing the preparation of other monographs for antiretroviral substances, we are now also working on monographs for the dosage forms associated with the ARVs already finalized and those in preparation. Draft texts will be circulated for comment in due course.
