India, Feb. 4 -- Zydus Lifesciences has secured approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to market a generic diabetes medication in the United States.

The company received tentative approval for Dapagliflozin tablets in 5 mg and 10 mg strengths, according to a regulatory filing.

Dapagliflozin belongs to the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and is prescribed alongside diet and exercise to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. The approval is expected to strengthen Zydus' presence in the US generics market and expand its diabetes care portfolio.
