Consumers and doctors complain about Mylan generic LVT for epilepsy patients
In 2007, generic drug manufacturers netted more than $58 billion in sales in the United States. The demand for generic drugs is driven by healthcare insurance companies, consumers, and pharmacies, which generally enjoy substantially higher profit margins when they substitute a generic medication for the branded medication.
In December 2009, Mylan Inc. announced that its subsidiary Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. received final approval from the Food and Drug Administration for its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Levetiracetam Tablets, 1000 mg.
Levetiracetam Tablets are the generic version of UCB Pharma's antiepileptic Keppra®.
This additional strength of Levetiracetam Tablets complements Mylan's already approved and marketed strengths of 250 mg, 500 mg, and 750 mg Levetiracetam Tablets, 1000 mg had U.S. sales of approximately $136 million for the 12 months ending Sept. 30 and shipped immediately.
