Zydus today informed that it received the nod to market Sirolimus tablets of strength 0.5 mg with 180 days of marketing exclusivity, together with the nod to market Duloxetine delayed release capsules in different strengths of 20 mg, 30 mg and 60 mg.
As per IMS data the sales of Sirolimus 0.5mg was estimated at $11.7 million and the total market for Sirolimus was approximately $203.8 million in 2013. The sales for Duloxetine was estimated at $5.5 billion in 2013.
