Shijiazhuang Fourth Pharmaceutical Group has once again received good news in its research and development efforts. Recently, the active pharmaceutical ingredient—lacosamide—developed and submitted by Hebei Guangxiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shijiazhuang Fourth Pharmaceutical Group, has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration and can now be officially used in marketed formulations.
It is reported that lacosamide formulations are clinically primarily used for monotherapy and combination therapy of partial-onset seizures in epilepsy patients aged 4 years and older.
Previously, Shijiazhuang No. 4 Pharmaceutical’s lacosamide tablets in two specifications—50 mg and 100 mg—obtained drug registration certificates issued by the National Medical Products Administration and were deemed to have passed the evaluation of bioequivalence and therapeutic equivalence for generic drugs. The recent approval of the lacosamide active pharmaceutical ingredient will further enhance the product’s market competitiveness.
