NEW DELHI: Sun Pharmaceutical Industries on Thursday said it has received approval from US health regulator to market generic Clarinex tablets and Tiazac capsules, used in treating nasal allergies and hypertension, respectively, in the American market.
The Mumbai-based firm has received approval from US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for its abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) to market a generic version of Schering Plough's Clarinex tablets, Sun Pharma said in a statement.
The company has received the approval for generic Clarinex tablets in the strength of 5 mg. The tablets are indicated for allergic rhinitis or allergic inflammation of the nasal airways, it said.
