NEW YORK AP – Mylan Inc. said Wednesday it can launch an authorized generic version of Pfizer Inc.’s antifungal drug Vfend in early 2011 under terms of a patent lawsuit settlement between the drugmakers.
Mylan said it will be able to market generic Vfend tablets in the U.S. starting in the first quarter of 2011, and said it may have 180 days of marketing exclusivity for its product. The agreement covers 50 milligram and 200 milligram tablets of the drug, which is also called voriconazole.
