AstraZeneca, the world's leading pharmaceutical company, has received US Food and Drug Administration approval for its Zoloft brand, Eli Lilly's schizophrenia drug Zyprexa.
Zoloft, the generic version of Lilly's antipsychotic Zyprexa, is the first treatment approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other psychotic disorders.
The drug works by blocking the activity of dopamine in the brain, which leads to a feeling of calm and increased activity in the brain.
The FDA also approved the drug for the treatment of major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, which are also known as major depressive disorder or MDD.
The approval comes in a class of antipsychotic drugs called atypical antipsychotics, which are approved by the FDA in March to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The drugs are also prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder.
According to the USFDA, Zyprexa and Zoloft are the first medicines to be approved for the treatment of these disorders.
According to a press release from Lilly, the drug is now the second-biggest selling medicine in the world, with sales of $15.9 billion in 2016.
"Lilly believes that patients and physicians can benefit from the broad availability of these medicines in the US," said Dr. David Graham, Chief Executive Officer of Eli Lilly. "Zoloft is the first new treatment for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, as it was approved by the FDA in March."
Zoloft is already available in several countries worldwide.
The drug is available in five strengths: 0.3mg, 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg and 20mg.
Zoloft is marketed by Eli Lilly and Company, which makes both generic and branded versions of the drug.
Zoloft's patent for the drug expired in the US in April 2018, but the patent still remains open for other formulations, including in the US and other European countries.
Zoloft is also available as a prescription drug in some countries worldwide.
Zoloft is also sold under the trade names Zyprexa and Cymbalta.
The USFDA approves the treatment of schizophrenia in two ways: it approves a drug to treat it in three ways: the first is to use the drug in patients with a psychotic disorder, the second is to use the drug as an adjunct therapy, a treatment that has not been approved by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or depression.
Zoloft's active ingredient is albendazole. It is approved to treat both manic and mixed episodes in the US.
The approved indications for Zoloft include:
A. Bipolar I disorder: In patients with a manic episode, Zoloft increases the amount of energy it releases in the brain. It is the only drug that is approved for use in bipolar disorder. Bipolar II disorder, also known as manic or mixed episodes, is a mood disorder that affects many people worldwide. It is not a controlled substance and is therefore not considered an "inoperable disease."
B. Epilepsy: In patients with epilepsy, Zoloft works by causing a seizure in a patient. The drug is not approved for use in bipolar disorder. It is approved for use in all types of epilepsy.
C. Schizoaffective disorder: Zoloft is approved in the US for the treatment of Schizoaffective Disorder, also known as schizoaffective disorder.
D.
In a press release from Lilly, the company also confirmed that the approval of Zoloft for the treatment of schizoaffective disorder will be made in the European Union in 2017.
The approval comes after the US FDA has approved the drug in the following countries:
United States: The US FDA has approved the drug in the following countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the UK, Spain, Sweden and the UK. In the US, the FDA has approved the drug in all countries listed above, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. The US Food and Drug Administration has not approved the drug for use in the United States, but in several other countries in Europe.
