Shijiazhuang Fourth Pharmaceutical Group has once again received good news in its scientific research efforts. Recently, the active pharmaceutical ingredient—lacosamide—developed and submitted by Hebei Guangxiang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Shijiazhuang Fourth Pharmaceutical Group, has been approved by the National Medical Products Administration and can now be officially used in marketed formulations.
It is reported that lacosamide formulations are clinically primarily used for monotherapy and combination therapy of partial-onset seizures in epilepsy patients aged 4 years and older.
Previously, Shijiazhuang No.4 Pharmaceutical’s 50mg and 100mg formulations of lacosamide tablets received drug registration certificates issued by the National Medical Products Administration and are considered to have passed the evaluation of bioequivalence and therapeutic equivalence for generic drugs. The recent approval of the lacosamide active pharmaceutical ingredient will further enhance the product’s market competitiveness.
