Cipla gets USFDA nod for lipid regulating tablets

NEW DELHI, Dec 19:  Drug firm Cipla has received final approval from the US health regulator for lipid regulating Fenofibrate tablets.

The company “has received final approval for its abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for Fenofibrate tablets USP 48mg and 145mg, from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA),” Cipla said in a BSE filing.

The tablets are generic versions of AbbVie’s Tricor tablets, it added.
