Company Has Launched Five Products in Last Three Months
PHILADELPHIA, March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Lannett Company, Inc. (NYSE: LCI) today announced that it has commenced marketing a generic version of Adderall XR®, an extended-release mixed salt of a single entity Amphetamine capsule product (Dextroamphetamine Saccharate, Amphetamine Aspartate, Dextroamphetamine Sulfate, Amphetamine Sulfate), with strengths of 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg and 30 mg capsules. Adderall XR® and its generic versions have an estimated IQVIA market value of approximately $1.3 billion for the 12 months ending January 2020, although actual generic market values are expected to be lower.
The company also said that in the last three months it has launched a total of five products. In addition to generic Adderall XR, the four other products include Propranolol ER, Lactulose Oral Solution, Nystatin Suspension and Numbrino® (Cocaine Hydrochloride Nasal Solution 4%), the company’s branded local anesthetic product, recently approved by the FDA.
“Generic Adderall XR® extends our offering of treatments for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD),” said Tim Crew, chief executive officer of Lannett. “As we have previously noted, while the market for Adderall XR is sizable, there currently are several generic suppliers for this product. Our entire team continues to work diligently to bring more affordable medicines to patients.”
In March 2019, Lannett entered into an agreement with Elite Pharmaceuticals and SunGen Pharma to be the exclusive U.S. distributor of certain drug products, including generic Adderall® IR and generic Adderall XR®. Under the agreement, Lannett primarily provides sales, marketing and distribution support for the products, for which it receives a share of the profits.
