Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. will commence shipment of 12.5mg and 25mg meclizine HCl tablets immediately. At this time, Par believes it is the exclusive supplier of the AB-rated generic product. Par marketed meclizine prior to an explosion at the facility of its API supplier in February 2008. Par has since qualified a new API source and received the appropriate approval of its supplemental new drug application to manufacture and market meclizine HCl utilizing its new API supplier.
