The company and its US arm Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc have entered into a settlement agreement with Forest Laboratories LLC, Forest Laboratories Holdings Ltd and Royalty Pharma Collection Trust to settle the litigation.
Following the agreement, the outstanding patent litigation related to Glenmark's abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for Milnacipran Hydrochloride 12.5 milligram, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets, the generic version of Forest's Savella, will be dismissed.
