Akum Pharmaceutical Gets CDSCO Panel Nod to Manufacture, Market Azelnidipine, Metoprolol FDC tablet
New Delhi: The drug major Akum Pharmaceuticals has got a go-ahead from the Subject Expert Committee (SEC) functional under the Central Drug Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) to manufacture and market the fixed-dose combination of the cardiovascular drug Azelnidipine plus Metoprolol Succinate film coated bilayered tablet.
This came after Akum Pharmaceuticals presented the raw data of the Phase III clinical trial report before the committee.
Azelnidipine is a calcium channel blocker (dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker). It is used in the treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure). It regulates blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the pressure on them, thereby making it easier for the heart to pump more blood throughout the body. In this way, it normalizes the blood pressure in patients with high blood pressure.
