Sun Pharma launches CEQUA in US

Date: 14-10-2019

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries’ one of wholly-owned subsidiaries has commercialized CEQUA (cyclosporine ophthalmic solution) 0.09% in the US. CEQUA, which offers the highest concentration of cyclosporine for ophthalmic use approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), is indicated to increase tear production in patients with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye), an inflammatory disease that afflicts more than 16 million people in the US.

CEQUA is the first and only FDA-approved cyclosporine treatment delivered with nanomicellar (NCELL) technology, which helps to improve the bioavailability and physicochemical stability of cyclosporine, resulting in improved ocular tissue penetration.

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