Viatris wins FDA approval for Ryzumvi to treat presbyopia in adults

Viatris has won US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for RYZUMVI (phentolamine ophthalmic solution 0.75%) to treat presbyopia in adults, the company announced on October 16, 2026. RYZUMVI was already approved in the US for pharmacologically-induced mydriasis, and is the only commercially available FDA-approved product for that use. The new approval adds presbyopia to its indications. Viatris is exploring a US partner to commercialise the product for presbyopia. Under a global licensing agreement with Opus Genetics, Viatris holds exclusive US commercial rights. Presbyopia is the gradual loss of near focusing ability with age, typically noticeable in the early to mid-40s.

Japan approves Viatris' Wakix for narcolepsy and sleep apnoea-related daytime sleepiness

Viatris has received approval from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare for WAKIX (pitolisant) to treat excessive daytime sleepiness associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and narcolepsy. WAKIX is the first histamine H3 receptor antagonist/inverse agonist approved in Japan for these conditions. The treatment addresses excessive daytime sleepiness, a symptom affecting both conditions that can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. WAKIX is not classified as a controlled substance and has been designated an orphan drug in Japan for narcolepsy. The approval was supported by positive data from domestic Phase 3 clinical trials in Japan and international studies. WAKIX, discovered by Bioprojet and licensed to Viatris for Japan, has previously received approvals in more than 38 countries for narcolepsy.
