Endo International announced today that one of its operating companies, Par Pharmaceutical, Inc., launched ibuprofen-famotidine 800 mg/26.6 mg tablets, a generic version of Amgen's (formerly Horizon Therapeutics) DUEXIS®.
"We're proud to provide affordable choices to healthcare providers and their appropriate patients while strengthening our reputation as a reliable, quality supplier," said Scott Sims, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Injectable Solutions & Generics at Endo.
The combination medication is used to relieve the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis while decreasing the risk of developing ulcers of the stomach and upper intestines people may experience from ibuprofen alone.
According to IQVIA™, ibuprofen-famotidine tablet sales were approximately $49 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2023.
