Alvogen is first with Revlimid rival in EU

Alvogen is claiming the first approvals in “several European countries” for its generic version of Celgene’s Revlimid (lenalidomide) capsules, after its Lotus Pharmaceuticals affiliate “successfully concluded multiple registration procedures” for the oncology drug. Lotus’ lenalidomide has been approved in European markets in seven strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg and 25mg capsules.
