Watson has announced that the US court has granted preliminary injunction preventing Watson and Amphastar from selling Amphastar's Enoxaparin Sodium Injection, as requested by Momenta Pharmaceuticals and Sandoz.

The US FDA has approved Amphastar’s Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Enoxaparin Sodium Injection in the 30mg/mL, 40mg/mL, 60mg/mL, 80mg/mL,100mg/mL, 120mg/mL, 150mg/mL and 300mg/mL strengths.

The sole right to distribute Amphastar’s Enoxaparin in the US retail pharmacy channel is held by Watson.
