Zydus Lifesciences Limited (including its subsidiaries/affiliates, hereafter referred to as “Zydus”) has received final approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) for Esomeprazole Magnesium for Delayed-Release Oral Suspension (20 mg and 40 mg), the company announced through an exchange filing.

The product will be manufactured at the group’s formulation manufacturing facility in Moraiya, Ahmedabad. Esomeprazole Magnesium for Delayed-Release Oral Suspension (20 mg and 40 mg) had annual sales of USD 42 million in the United States.
