Alembic Pharma gets USFDA final nod for Ticagrelor 90 mg, tentative approval for 60 mg
The 90 mg dosage has been approved as a therapeutically equivalent generic to AstraZeneca's Brilinta, and is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and stent thrombosis in certain high-risk patients. The 60 mg variant has also received tentative approval pending patent expiry or exclusivity clearance.
Alembic was among the first ANDA applicants to file for the 90 mg dosage with a Paragraph IV certification, indicating it is contesting the innovator's patent.
According to IQVIA data, the estimated market size in the U.S. for the 90 mg Ticagrelor tablets is approximately US$ 1,062 million, and for the 60 mg tablets is around US$ 242 million, for the twelve months ending March 2025.
With this development, Alembic's cumulative USFDA approvals now stand at 222 ANDAs, comprising 197 final approvals and 25 tentative approvals.
The company reaffirmed its long-standing focus on regulated markets, with robust R&D and vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities. Alembic continues to expand its presence in global generics with a strong pipeline and established regulatory track record.

Uber rolls out ‘senior accounts' in UK to help elderly people travel
Uber is launching a feature for relatives to remotely book and track trips for their elderly parents or grandparents in the UK. New 'senior accounts' are designed to make it easier for order people to use the ride-hailing app to get around. It gives people access to a streamlined version of the app featuring larger text, buttons that are easier to tap, simplified screens and fewer steps to making a booking. Through Uber's existing 'family profiles' feature, trusted family members or caregivers can invite an older adult to set up an account. They can then remotely book or manage rides for the older user. It means they can offer support from afar including live-tracking their trip and the ability to contact the driver or Uber's safety reporting line. Loved ones will also be able to access the driver's name and vehicle information when a booking is made. Users can save favourite places for booking shortcuts, or use flexible payment options – and they also have the option to book trips independently without linking to a relative. Senior accounts were piloted in the US and Latin America last month and will now will be rolled out in the UK. Uber said it worked with older users and accessibility advocates to develop the feature, which was designed to address concerns that many elderly people feel excluded from technology or do not have the skills to be digitally-savvy. It also follows the launch of 'teen accounts' last year where parents and carers can also supervise bookings and teenagers are matched to more experienced drivers. Uber UK's general manager Andrew Brem said the tools 'prioritise simplicity, safety and peace of mind' for older people and their families. 'These features are all about helping older adults stay independent and connected, while giving loved ones the confidence that Uber is there to help,' he said.

Economists see lower risk of US recession
Economists are a little less gloomy about the possible fallout from US President Donald Trump's trade and economic policies than they were three months ago, according to a Wall Street Journal survey. Economists expect cooler inflation, stronger growth, and a lower risk of a recession this year, but they remain relatively downbeat, with the latest GDP growth prediction still half of what was expected in January. 'Despite numerous headwinds, the U.S. economy is proving stubbornly resilient,' one economist said, adding that 'the mood has clearly shifted from bold to careful.' The slightly more optimistic outlook comes as the US Treasury on Friday reported collecting more than $100 billion in customs duties in June. — Claire Cameron Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
