Sun Pharma arm gets USFDA nod for epilepsy drug

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries on Friday said one of its subsidiaries has received approval from the US health regulator to market Elepsia XR, an antiepileptic drug.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) has granted approval for the New Drug Application to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sun Pharma for Elepsia XR in the strengths of 1,000 mg and 1,500 mg, the company said in a regulatory filing.

The product was filed from Sun Pharma’s Halol (Gujarat) facility, it added.

Sun Pharma shares settled at Rs 424.75 a piece, down 1.05 per cent on BSE.
