Alembic Pharma share price gains after tentative FDA nod for diabetes drug

 The firm has got the nod for empagliflozin and linagliptin tablets. Empagliflozin is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Alembic Pharmaceuticals share price gained 3 percent intraday on August 27 after the pharma company received a tentative nod for the US drug regulator for empagliflozin and linagliptin tablets.

The company has received US Food & Drug Administration (USFDA) tentative approval for empagliflozin and linagliptin Tablets, 10 mg/5 mg and 25 mg/5 mg. Alembic now has a total of 130 ANDA approvals (113 final approvals and 17 tentative approvals) from the FDA, the company said in an exchange filing.

Empagliflozin is indicated to reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and established cardiovascular disease. However, the effectiveness of empagliflozin and linagliptin tablets in reducing the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease has not been established, the company said.

Empagliflozin and linagliptin tablets (10 mg/5 mg and 25 mg/5 mg) had an estimated market size of $244 million for twelve months ending June 2020, the company said, citing IQVIA data.

The drug company on August 25 said its joint venture partner Aleor Dermaceuticals received final approval from the US regulator for Desonide lotion used to treat a variety of skin conditions.

Similar to 2020, D-Street is at record high ahead of Budget 2021; will history repeat itself?

  Experts are of the view that a repeat of 2020 or what happened in March might not be possible but some consolidation cannot be ruled out. Back in March when everyone wanted to write-off 2020 from their books, hope and liquidity supported markets and investor sentiment. Nobody thought that after touching a 3-year low in March 2020, benchmark indices would give double-digit returns by the end of the year. The S&P BSE Sensex and Nifty50 rallied by about 15 percent in 2020 and the big outperformance came from the small and midcap stocks. The rally is still continuing in 2021. The S&P BSE Sensex, which climbed Mount 49K, is up over 3 percent while the Nifty50 is up over 4 percent so far in January. Sensex scaling the 49,000-mark and Nifty50 touching 14,500 levels ahead of the Budget 2021 could make anyone cautious about the strength of the rally. Back in January 2020, both Sensex and Nifty touched fresh highs ahead of Budget, and then the market fell like a pack of cards. The ...
