Dr. Reddy's Laboratories won't market a generic version of Esperion Therapeutics' cholesterol drugs after a reaching a settlement.
Esperion Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company, said Friday that it has settled with India-based pharmaceutical company Dr. Reddy's which was seeking approval to market its own generic versions of its Nexletol and Nexlizet.
Nexletol and Nexlizet are prescription medications used to lower LDL cholesterol, known as the bad cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart-related issues in adults.
Dr. Reddy's had made an abbreviated new drug application for its generic version of the drugs, but following the settlement, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories has agreed not to market a generic version of either in the U.S. before 2040.
Dr. Reddy's wasn't readily available for comment.
Earlier this year, Esperion said it had reached settlement agreements with a number of other pharmaceuticals regarding generic versions of Nexletol.
