Cadilla Healthcare has been on a roll since the beginning of June.

It had hit a new high on 2nd June after it unit, Zydus Cadila received final approval from the US Food & Drug Administration to market Levofloxacin injection, used in the treatment of bacterial infections. At that time itself, the company had said that this was the beginning of approval process for filings made from this Ahmedabad factory which had completed the USFDA audit and had got clearance with zero observations.

Yesterday, it received another FDA approval to market mesalamine tablets used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis in the US markets.
