Zydus Pharmaceuticals, an American generics company and subsidiary of Cadila Healthcare (BSE: 532321), has settled litigation with privately-held Aptalis Pharma related to the ulcerative colitis treatment Canasa (mesalamine).

The news follows yesterday’s announcement that the Indian firm had settled litigation with another American firm, the generics drugmaker Upsher-Smith Laboratories, in relation to Qudexy (topiramate) extended-release capsules.

Under the terms of that deal, Upsher-Smith granted Zydus a license to market its generic version of Qudexy, an anti-epileptic drug, from March 19, 2020.
