Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd., an Indian pharmaceutical company, has entered the US generic market by launching the first generic version of Sugammadex Injection. This move marks Dr. Reddy's entry into the market for Merck Sharp & Dohme B.V.'s Bridion, a product that generated approximately $1.6 billion in U.S. sales over the latest 12-month period ending May 2026.
