AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. -- Moody's: No change to AMAG outlook following approval of generic hydroxyprogesterone caproate
New York, September 16, 2015 -- Moody's commented that there is no change to the B2 Corporate Family Rating or positive outlook of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMAG) following the FDA approval of a generic hydroxyprogesterone caproate. The development is credit negative because the generic drug has the same active ingredient --and therefore could theoretically compete -- with AMAG's key product, Makena. However, Moody's does not believe that, practically, the drug will exert any meaningful market share or pricing pressure on AMAG's product over the rating horizon.
