Lannett receives FDA’s approval for obesity drug

Lannett has received approval from the FDA for the company's supplemental abbreviated new drug application of phentermine hydrochloride capsules 30mg, a treatment for obesity.

Phentermine hydrochloride (HCl) is indicated for the short-term management of obesity. The company expects to commence marketing this product immediately.

Arthur Bedrosian, president and CEO of Lannett, said: “This approval complements our phentermine HCI tablet 37.5mg which is the generic equivalent of Adipex-P, marketed by Gate Pharmaceuticals, a division of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, and is an important addition to our product portfolio.”
