Strides Pharma Science has received approval from the US health regulator for Ethosuximide Softgel capsules, an anti-epileptic medication. The approved product is a generic version of Zarontin Capsules, 250 mg, of Pfizer.
“Strides Pharma Global, Singapore, has received approval for Ethosuximide Softgel Capsules USP, 250 mg, from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA),” Strides Pharma Science said in a BSE filing. The product was approved in the first review cycle by the USFDA in less than 10 months of filing.
