Sanofi Discontinues Sale of Generic Lovenox

Sanofi has discontinued the sale of its generic version of Lovenox (enoxaparin), a drug for deep vein thrombosis.

Sanofi SA has discontinued the sale of its generic version of Lovenox (enoxaparin), a drug for deep vein thrombosis, the company said in a letter to its customers.

 

Duane Nash, an analyst at Wedbush Securities told the International Business Times, "Lovenox should be more profitable to Sanofi without an authorized generic, provided that Momenta Pharmaceuticals Inc's M-Enox remains the sole third-party generic."

 

Nash added that the announcement was expected after a Massachusetts court injunction prevented sales of Amphastar's generic enoxaparin. The injunction was requested by Amphastar and Sandoz, a generic drug manufacturer based in Germany.
