06 Apr 2023 Evaluate

Zydus Lifesciences has received final approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to manufacture and market Acetazolamide Tablets USP, 125 mg and 250 mg (USRLD: Diamox Tablets, 125 mg and 250 mg).

Acetazolamide is used to treat glaucoma, a condition in which increased pressure in the eye can lead to gradual loss of vision. Acetazolamide decreases the pressure in the eye. Acetazolamide is also used to reduce the severity and duration of symptoms (upset stomach, headache, shortness of breath, dizziness, drowsiness, and fatigue) of altitude (mountain) sickness. The drug is used with other medicines to reduce edema (excess fluid retention) and to help control seizures in certain types of epilepsy. The product will be manufactured at the group’s formulation manufacturing facility in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh (India).

Acetazolamide Tablets USP, 125 mg and 250 mg had annual sales of $16 million in the United States (IQVIA MAT Dec. 2022). The group now has 358 approvals and has so far filed over 440 ANDAs since the commencement of the filing process in FY 2003-04.

Zydus Lifesciences (formerly known as Cadila Healthcare) is an India-based pharmaceutical company.
