Zydus Lifesciences has launched in the U.S. market Riociguat tablets, in multiple strengths, developed and manufactured by MSN Laboratories.<\/p>\n

The two companies are the first to launch the product, which is a generic version of Bayer\u2019s Adempas. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a generic equivalent of Adempas tablets, in all five strengths, Riociguat tablets are indicated for treatment of persistent or recurrent chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after surgical treatment, or inoperable CTEPH; and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing first to market with generic riociguat is a milestone for our U.S. business and for patients with pulmonary hypertension. It reflects the strength of our complex-generics pipeline, our ability to execute day-one launches in specialty categories and the strength of our partnerships that complement our commercial reach in the U.S.\u201d Zydus Lifesciences Managing Director Sharvil Patel said in a release on Monday.<\/p>\n

MSN Laboratories founder and CMD MSN Reddy said \u201cRiociguat is a technically demanding molecule and bringing the first generic to the U.S. demonstrates the depth of MSN\u2019s integrated API and formulation R&D and the scale of our manufacturing. Together with Zydus\u2019 established U.S. commercial platform, we are confident of delivering consistent, high-quality supply of this important therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n
