U.K. pharmaceutical company Indivior PLC (INDV.LN) said Monday that it has been successful in blocking--for the time being--the launch of a generic alternative to its Suboxone opioid disorder medication through the courts.

It said that the U.S. district court of New Jersey had granted it a restraining order compelling rival drugmaker Dr. Reddy's to temporarily cease activities related to the development and marketing of the product.

The order will stay until a hearing can take place on a preliminary injunction motion filed by Indivior. The company said it seeks to extend the ban on a launch of a generic Suboxone alternative.
