Pfizer, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, has received a tentative approval from the FDA for its antidepressant Viagra, with its patent expected to expire in the spring of 2012.
The drug, which was originally developed as a pill, was launched in the US in 1998.
Pfizer was the first major drug company to approve the drug, which helps to treat an array of conditions that have led to erectile dysfunction.
Viagra’s sales reached $3.5 billion in the US in 2010, according to IQVIA data. However, the market for erectile dysfunction drugs has grown faster than the worldwide market. In 2010, the market for erectile dysfunction drugs was worth more than $2 billion.
According to a research firm, the drug was launched in the US in 1998.
The approval for Viagra was due to be effective in men with ED, though the FDA hasn’t approved it.
Pfizer’s patents for Viagra expire in April 2011. However, the company has not yet announced whether the drug will be eligible for the patent.
