12 March 2012

Florida, USA-based privately-held Boca Pharmacal said on Friday that it has received approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its Abbreviated New Drug Application for methimazole tablets USP, 5mg and 10mg, the generic version of King Pharmaceuticals' Tapazole, which is indicated for the treatment of hyperthyroidism.

"This is our first approval this year and we are expecting a second before the end of the first quarter," said Robert Edwards, chief executive of Boca Pharmacal, adding: "As our pipeline continues to mature and we come to the end of our largest development cycle, Boca expects to have multiple approvals this year."
