According to IQVIA MAT data, the approved product has an estimated market size of $78 million for the 12 months ended December 2025.With this, Eugia Pharma Specialities Group has received its 184th ANDA approval, including 10 tentative approvals, across facilities that manufacture oncology oral and sterile speciality products.
