US FDA’s First Competitive Generic Therapy Approval Comes With A Twist
Executive Summary
Apotex’s potassium chloride oral solution is eligible for 180-day exclusivity under new expedited pathway even though Amneal’s generic referencing same product was approved three weeks earlier; Amneal's continued marketing will not be blocked by Apotex’s exclusivity, which is forfeited if it fails to launch within 75 days.
