Mylan gets FDA approval for generic blood pressure capsules

Mylan Pharmaceuticals has received final approval from the FDA for its abbreviated new drug application for verapamil hydrochloride extended-release capsules in 100mg, 200mg and 300mg doses.

The verapamil capsules are the generic version of Elan Drug Delivery’s Verelan tablets for the treatment of high blood pressure.

Verapamil capsules had US sales of approximately $58 million for the 12 months ending June 30, 2007, for the same strengths.

Mylan’s product will be shipped immediately, the company said.
