PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 12, 2007 - Lannett Company, Inc. (Amex:LCI) today announced it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the company's supplemental Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) of Phentermine Hydrochloride Capsules 30 mg. The company expects to commence marketing this product immediately.
Phentermine Hydrochloride (HCl) is indicated for the short-term management of obesity. According to Wolters Kluwer, sales of generic Phentermine HCI Capsules exceeded $37 million for the 12 months ended October 2007.
"This approval complements our Phentermine HCI Tablet 37.5 mg which is the generic equivalent of Adipex-P(R), marketed by Gate Pharmaceuticals, a division of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, and is an important addition to our product portfolio," said Arthur Bedrosian, president and chief executive officer of Lannett. "Through the hard work and dedication of our research and development team, we continue to build a robust pipeline despite a tremendous backlog of product applications pending at the FDA."
