Lupin received U.S. FDA approval for its generic Modafinil Tablets USP, 100 mg and 200 mg, bioequivalent to Provigil. The drug treats excessive sleepiness from narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea, and shift work disorder. The reference drug had estimated U.S. annual sales of about USD 70.7 million. This adds a new product to Lupin's U.S. generics portfolio.
