The FDA approved Alembic Pharmaceuticals’ ANDA for olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution for treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, deeming the generic product therapeutically equivalent to Novartis’ Patanol.
Patanol had estimated sales of $61 million for the twelve months ending December 2017.
This marks the company’s first approval for a drug in ophthalmic dosage form. Alembic currently has 83 ANDA approvals from the agency, according to the drugmaker.
