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.

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