Israeli generics giant Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) and India’s Lupin (LOPN: BSE) both yesterday announced the launch of their copy versions of Pristiq (desvenlafaxine) extended-release tablets in the USA.
Desvenlafaxine extended-release tablets are a serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder.
Desvenlafaxine extended-release tablets further enhance Teva’s portfolio of antidepressant products, the company said. With nearly 600 generic medicines available, Teva has the largest portfolio of FDA-approved generic products on the market and holds the leading position in first-to-file opportunities, with over 100 pending first-to-files in the U.S. Currently, one in six generic prescriptions dispensed in the U.S. is filled with a Teva generic product.
