London-listed addiction specialist Indivior (LSE: INDV) failed in its bid to block a generic competitor to its Suboxone film (buprenorphine/naloxone) drug, used in the treatment of opioid addiction.

A US court ruled against re-opening proceedings against Indian drugmaker Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (NSE: DRREDDY), which Indivior had wanted to block from selling the copy in the US market.

Indivior is expecting further US competition from privately-owned generics company Alvogen, which has its own copy of Suboxone.
