Ireland-incorporated Allergan (NYSE: AGN) says that the European Commission has granted Marketing Authorization for Truberzi (eluxadoline) in Europe.

As a result, Truberzi is now approved for use in the 28 countries of the European Union as well as Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.The approval comes following a positive opinion from the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) in July.

Truberzi is currently owned by former Allergan subsidiary Aptalis Pharmaceutical Technologies, which was sold to Teva during the marketing authorization process. Under the terms of the agreement all rights to Truberzi will be returned to Allergan in the coming months.
