Zydus Lifesciences advanced 3.89% to Rs 1,137.20 after the drug maker received tentative approval from the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to market Azilsartan Medoxomil tablets.

According to IQVIA MAT March 24, Azilsartan Medoxomil tablets had annual sales of $89 million in the United States.

The group now has 398 approvals and has so far filed over 460* ANDAs since the commencement of the filing process in FY 2003-04.
