Sun Pharma falls on competition from Glenmark drug

Reuters Market Eye - Shares in Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd fall 1 percent as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for Glenmark's Desoximetasone ointment is seen negative for the former's unit, Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.

Analysts tracking the sector say the leading brand in this segment is Taro's Topicort, which had annual sales of $50 million.
