The approved ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug Application) is for the generic version of Otsuka Pharmaceutical's Abilify tablets in the same strengths, Aurobindo Pharma said.

The approved product has an estimated market size of USD 7.3 billion for 12 months ending August, the company said stating IMS estimates.

"Aripiprazole tablets are atypical antipsychotic indicated in the treatment symptoms of psychotic conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (manic depression)," Aurobindo said.

The company now has a total of 215 ANDA approvals (187 final approvals including 10 from Aurolife Pharma LLC and 28 tentative approvals) from USFDA, it added.
