FDA APPROVED THE GENERIC DOXIL IN REPONSE TO SHORTAGE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES ON ONCOLOGY PRACTICES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.
The Generic version is manufactured by SUN PHARMA GLOBAL FZE.
Shortage was first believed to be a commercial ploy to increase the price until it became real.   This approval will limit chances of new shortage and will help patients with Myeloma, Kaposi sarcoma and Ovarian Cancers who need this medication the most.
