Dr Reddy's Laboratories on Friday said it has launched its Deferasirox tablets for oral suspension used for treatment of chronic iron overload, in the US market.
The company has launched its product, a generic version of Novartis Pharma AG's Exjade tablets for oral suspension, after getting the nod from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA), Dr Reddy's Labs said in a filing to the BSE.
According to IQVIA Health data, the Exjade brand had US sales of around USD 113 million MAT for 12 months to September 2019, it added.
