Sun Pharma’s arm launches Riomet ER Oral Suspension in US

26 Feb 2020 Evaluate

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries’ wholly owned subsidiary has launched Riomet ER in the U.S. as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Riomet ER was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) on August 29, 2019.

Riomet ER, dosed once daily, is the first and only FDA-approved liquid formulation of extended-release metformin. It can be prepped and poured, thereby eliminating the need to crush medication. The availability of a liquid formulation addresses the needs of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, including residents in long-term care facilities, who often have issues swallowing solid medications. Riomet ER offers dosing flexibility and an acceptable taste.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries is the world’s fourth largest specialty generic pharmaceutical company and India’s top pharmaceutical company.
