Watson wins FDA approval for generic depression drug

Watson Pharmaceuticals, a specialty pharmaceutical company, has announced that its subsidiary, Watson Laboratories, Inc, has received final approval from the FDA on its abbreviated new drug application for bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets in the 150mg strength.

Bupropion hydrochloride extended-release tablets are the generic equivalent to GlaxoSmithKline’s Wellbutrin XL product, which is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Watson intends to launch the product immediately.
