This approval allows Caplin Steriles to manufacture and market generic Levetiracetam injection in the US market. Levetiracetam is an antiepileptic drug used to treat various types of seizures. This approval is expected to boost Caplin Point Laboratories’ presence in the US generic injectables market.

Investment Implications:
- Positive for Caplin Point: This USFDA approval is likely to be viewed positively by investors, as it opens up a new revenue stream for the company.
