Vanda Pharmaceuticals said the Food and Drug Administration approved fanapt to treat manic or mixed episodes associated with bipolar I disorder in adults.
The biopharmaceutical company on Tuesday said the marketing approval of Fanapt for bipolar I disorder patients significantly increases the commercial opportunity of the treatment.
Bipolar disorder affects about 2.8% of the total U.S. adult population, the company said.
Fanapt has been used for the acute treatment of patients with schizophrenia since its FDA approval in 2009.
