The approved ANDA is therapeutically equivalent to the reference listed drug product (RLD) Vimpat Tablets, 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg of UCB, Inc. Lacosamide Tablets are indicated as adjunctive therapy in patients with partial- onset seizures. Vimpat had an estimated market size of $ 650 million for the twelve months ending April 2016.

Alembic was one of the first ANDA applicants to submit a substantially complete ANDA with a paragraph IV certification. The launch of this product will be based on the outcome of the ongoing litigation in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware with UCB. Alembic now has a total of 47 ANDA approvals (43 Final approvals and 4 tentative approvals) from USFDA.
