Generic Doxil approval

February 5, 2013

THE US Food and Drug Administration has approved the first generic version of the cancer drug Doxil (doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection). The drug is currently on the FDA’s drug shortage list, with the approval of the generic aiming to help resolve the shortfall. A year ago the FDA allowed temporary controlled importation of Lipodox as an alternative to Doxil, despite the drug not being approved in the USA. The generic version is made by Sun Pharma Global, and once supplies of the new product are sufficient to meet projected demand, the unapproved item will no longer be able to be imported.
