Sun Pharma wins FDA approval for generic Sinemet CR tablets

Carbidopa with levodopa extended release is indicated for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease and syndrome.

These generic extended release versions of carbidopa with levodopa are bio-equivalent to Sinemet CR marketed by Bristol-Myers and Squibb Company and will be available as tablets in two strengths: 25mg carbidopa with 100mg levodopa and 50mg carbidopa with 200mg levodopa. The company expects to reach the market shortly with these products.
