Limited, Singapore, has secured the coveted approval from the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for Icosapent Ethyl Capsules in both 0.5 gram and 1 gram variants.

These capsules are not just any pharmaceutical innovation; they are bioequivalent and therapeutically equivalent to the Reference Listed Drug (RLD), Vascepa by Amarin. With the market size of Icosapent Ethyl Capsules estimated at a staggering ~USD 1.3 billion according to IQVIA, this approval is a game-changer for Strides Pharma.

But Strides Pharma doesn’t plan to stop there; the Company has set an ambitious target to launch approximately 60 new products over the next three years in the United States.
