Orchid is the "first applicant" and a 180day generic drug exclusivity was granted by FDA. The Indian firm has marketing and distribution partnership with Apotex a US based company. Speaking at a conference, Mr K Raghavendra Rao, Managing Director, Orchid said, “This is a great milestone in our US Generics journey. We are not only the first generic product to be approved but also have been granted 180-days generic drug exclusivity. These approvals demonstrate Orchid’s world-class technological and regulatory skills. Given the premium nature of this life-saving antibiotic and our first generic status with exclusivity, we anticipate significant contribution to our revenues and profitability from this product in the ensuing quarters.”
