Upsher-Smith extends fluoxetine product line

Upsher-Smith has expanded its fluoxetine product family with the launch of fluoxetine oral solution, 20 mg/5 ml.

Upsher-Smith's product, which is an antidepressant, is a generic of Eli Lilly’s Prozac oral solution. That product has been discontinued, Upsher-Smith said.

The fluoxetine oral solution market had a market value of approximately $14.2 million for the 12 months ending November 2022, according to IQVIA.
