Andrx granted FDA final marketing approval for Naprelan
28 Aug 2002

The FDA has given Andrx Corporation final marketing approval for a 500mg strength of naproxen sodium, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which is bioequivalent to Naprelan.
Marketed by Elan Corporation, the 500mg strength of Naprelan had 2001 brand sales of approximately $25 million.

Naprelan is used for the treatment of pain caused by arthritis, osteoporosis and other inflammatory conditions. Andrx plans to begin marketing its generic version of Naprelan in September 2002.

"We are proud to announce another first for Andrx and we are hopeful that this represents the start of an exciting second half of the year," commented Larry Rosenthal, Andrx's executive vice president of sales and marketing, in a statement to the press.
