New Delhi: Aurobindo Pharma today said it has received final approval from USFDA to manufacture and market generic version of Risedronate Sodium tablets, used in the treatment of Osteoporosis, in the American market.

The company has received final approval from US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) to manufacture and market Risedronate Sodium tablets, Aurobindo Pharma said in a statement.

The approval is an extension of tentative nod received by the company on October 10, 2012, it added.
