NEW DELHI: The US pharmaceutical manufacturer has been accused of delaying the launch of Crestor to market the drug in the US in a "black box" manner and then making the drugs available through the generic drug company.
Dr Reddy's Laboratories is the second company in India to launch generic Crestor, after Mylan, a major generic drug manufacturer, in May, and has since increased its prices. The company is also selling generic versions of the anti-inflammatory drug Celebrex, the drug that's been authorized for the US market by the US Food and Drug Administration for its anti-inflammatory drug Celebrex, as well as the generic versions of Lipitor and Plendil.
The US company has been in a "black box" relationship with Crestor's manufacturer, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, for a year. The company was told in May that it would be taking a 30-day supply of generic Crestor to bring the drug up to the market, but had not disclosed the cost.
In its response to questions from, the US pharmaceutical company said the company had received a "black box" notice from the FDA and that Crestor was being manufactured without the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration.
"Our current strategy is to manufacture, sell and market generic products," the company said in a statement. "We will continue to manufacture, sell and market generic products to ensure the availability of cheaper generic products, including Crestor."
But Dr Reddy's is not the first manufacturer to delay the launch of the generic version of Crestor. Last year the US pharmaceutical company, AstraZeneca, filed a lawsuit against Pfizer, which manufactures Crestor, for allegedly delaying its launch.
The company said that its Crestor patent expired in April 2014, and is now in the process of selling the drug as the "generic version" of the medication. It said it has not yet sold its generic version of the drug, but is waiting to see if it can launch the brand version.
The FDA, however, said it had not approved the drug for the US market until September 2010, when it had determined that it did not have an "approved" patent, which is used to patent the product. Dr Reddy's said it had received a warning letter from the FDA warning board that it would sell its generic version of the drug, and would be the only one to market the drug in the US.
The drug has been available in the US since July 2014, when it was first approved by the FDA for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
The company also said that it has not received any reports of side effects, including gastrointestinal upset. Dr Reddy's has said that it will only be allowed to manufacture generic versions of Crestor.
"We will continue to manufacture, sell and market generic products to ensure the availability of cheaper generic products, including Crestor," the company said.
The company is not expected to launch generic Crestor in the US, as it has already had a positive feedback campaign with doctors and pharmacists.

It's been in the market for over two years, with prices rising at more than $2 a pill.Mylan's Crestor price has been rising since May 2014.

A new study that shows the drug can help save lives in patients with heart problems is just a beginning.
The drug, known as rosuvastatin, was prescribed for a study that enrolled more than 12,000 people to see whether it could reduce the risk of fatal arrhythmias, a rare but serious heart problem that most people have trouble getting or maintaining.
The study, led by, was presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association.
“It was a very interesting study,” said, a cardiologist and co-author of the study, who was not involved with the work.
The findings, published in theNew England Journal of Medicine, show that rosuvastatin works by slowing the heart’s beating, which is what makes it fatal.
The drug, which belongs to the class of drugs called atorvastatin, is taken by patients with congestive heart failure, or chronic heart failure, which is the class of drugs that help to prevent heart problems. It is taken once a day, usually every three months.
The study looked at the drug’s effect on the rate of fatal heart attacks in the general population, using data from the, an analysis of data from more than 800,000 patients.
In the first 18 months of the study, the rate of heart attacks in patients taking rosuvastatin was about two per cent, while that of patients taking the placebo was about half that.
“The results are encouraging and there is a clear benefit of rosuvastatin in treating patients with heart failure,” said, a cardiologist and senior author of the study.
The study was funded by a National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute grant. The National Institutes of Health supported the work.
Rosuvastatin, which is sold as a generic version of the drug, works by binding to a certain enzyme called CYP2D6, which is involved in metabolizing and excreting drugs.
Rosuvastatin is the only drug in this class that inhibits this enzyme, but studies have found it to be more effective in reducing the risk of death in patients with heart problems.
Dr. Jennifer Green, an allergist at the, said that the study’s results may have important implications for other drugs being taken to treat people with heart problems, such as the, the, or, which are also known as angina.
The drug’s effect on the rate of fatal heart attacks can help prevent the development of a heart problem.
“That is important,” Green said.
