Impax wins final FDA approval for generic Depakote tablets

Impax Laboratories, a technology-based specialty pharmaceutical company, has confirmed that the FDA has granted final approval of the company's abbreviated new drug application for generic version of Depakote 250mg extended-release tablets.

The company also received tentative approval on the 500mg tablets and expects to receive final approval on August 3, 2009, upon expiration of the 180-day exclusivity period.
