Sun Pharma gets approval from USFDA for CEQUA

Date: 16-08-2018

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries including its subsidiaries and/or associate companies has received approval for CEQUA (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09%, from the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA). CEQUA is indicated to increase tear production in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye).

CEQUA provides the highest FDA-approved concentration of cyclosporine A (CsA) and is the first and only approved CsA product that incorporates a nanomicellar technology. The innovative nanomicellar formulation allows the CsA molecule to overcome solubility challenges, penetrate the eye’s aqueous layer and prevents the release of the active lipophilic molecule prior to penetration.

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