Perrigo partner wins final approval for generic Elesta

Luitpold Pharmaceuticals, a partner of Perrigo, has obtained final approval for Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution, 0.05%.

Epinastine HCl is a generic version of Merck’s eye drug Elestat.

Elestat comprises epinastine used to prevent ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Perrigo chairman and CEO Joseph Papa said they were excited to launch another new product in the ophthalmic category as part of their extended topical strategy.

Perrigo manufactures active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), generic prescription (Rx) pharmaceuticals, infant formulas, nutritional products and OTC products.
