Approves Hepatitis C Treatment

SPRING VALLEY, N.Y. (AP) -- Drug companies Par Pharmaceutical Cos. and privately held Three Rivers Pharmaceuticals LLC said Monday that the Food and Drug Administration approved their Ribasphere hepatitis C treatment.
The agency approved Ribasphere in 200 milligram, 400 milligram and 600 milligram tablets for use with interferon alfa-2a to treat hepatitis C.

The product uses the active ingredient ribavirin used in Copegus. The pharmaceuticals unit of Swiss drug maker Roche Holdings Ltd. makes Copegus, a drug with about $200 million in annual U.S. sales.

Par shares fell 27 cents to $26.13 in afternoon trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
