FDA approves Teva's cefaclor ER tablets
06 Sep 2002

The FDA has approved Teva Pharmaceutical's ANDA for cefaclor extended release tablets USP, 375mg and 500mg.
This is the first generic approval for the 375mg strength. Shipment of this product is expected to begin immediately.

Cefaclor extended release tablets are the AB-rated generic equivalent of Eli Lilly's Ceclor CD, marketed by Elan Corporation.

Cefaclor extended release tablets are a cephalosporin antibiotic with annual sales of $14 million.

As far as I see this was not a major set-back for Elan. The drug was already generic and Elan took a write-down of their IP in their 2001 accounts with an amount of mUSD 94,2. Sales during 2001 were 13,4 mUSD.
