The company’s US arm, Glenmark Generics Inc and Lehigh Valley Technologies (LVT) have received US Food and Drug Administration nod for Oxycodone immediate release capsules, the company said in a filing to the Bombay Stock Exchange.

The approval is for 5 mg capsule and 100 mg/5 ml oral solution, it said, adding, Glenmark Generics Inc and LVT have also signed a new supply and marketing agreement.

Under the terms of agreement, LVT will be responsible for manufacturing of the Oxycodone product line for Glenmark’s exclusive marketing and distribution in the generic form, the company said.
