Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories recently announced the U.S. market launch of Lenalidomide Capsules, a therapeutic equivalent generic version of Revlimid (lenalidomide) Capsules approved by the U.S. FDA. With this volume-limited launch, Dr. Reddy’s is eligible for first-to-market, 180 days of generic drug exclusivity for Lenalidomide Capsules in 2.5 mg and 20 mg strengths.

“We are pleased with the first-to-market launch of two of our six strengths of Lenalidomide Capsules with 180-day market exclusivity,” said Marc Kikuchi, CEO, North America Generics, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories. “Bringing a more affordable generic version to market creates greater patient access for this important drug.”

As previously announced, Celgene agreed to provide Dr. Reddy’s with a license to sell volume-limited amounts of generic lenalidomide capsules in the U.S. in settlement of all outstanding claims of its litigation. The agreed-upon percentages remain confidential. As part of the settlement, Dr. Reddy’s is also licensed to sell generic lenalidomide capsules in the U.S. without volume limitation beginning on January 31, 2026.

Dr. Reddy’s Lenalidomide Capsules are available in strengths of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg, each in a bottle-count size of 28, as well as 15 mg, 20 mg, and 25 mg strengths, each in a bottle-count size of 21.
