Barr receives tentative approval for product

June
26

Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc., a generic drug manufacturer with major operations in Rockland County, announced that its Pliva subsidiary received tentative regulatory approval for a generic product used in treating depression.

The action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration covers generic versions of Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Inc.’s Effexor medication in tablet sizes of 25mg, 37.5mg, 50mg, 75mg and 100mg.

A tentative approval means that a generic product satisfies the requirements for final approval, but does not allow marketing of the generic product, according to Barr, based in Woodcliff Lake, N.J.
