Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. on Friday received approval from
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its drug Cassipa to be
used in the treatment of opioid dependence.
The FDA said the new action also provides a new dosage strength
of buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film, which are applied
under the tongue, in both brand name and generic versions and in
various strengths.
FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said "The FDA is committed to
helping those with opioid use disorder transition to lives of
sobriety. We've taken a number of steps to advance the development
of new FDA-approved treatments for opioid dependence and encourage
health care professionals to ensure patients are offered an
adequate chance to benefit from these therapies."
Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. is a division of Teva
Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. (TEVA).
American Depository Receipts of Teva finished Friday trading
down 1.15%, to $21.50, after Credit Suisse downgraded the stock to
neutral on concerns the FDA's upcoming decision on Teva's migraine
drug may not go well, and will weigh on the shares. In after-hours
trading Friday, Teva's ADRs were down 0.09% to $21.48.
