PHILADELPHIA — Lannett announced that it has begun shipping three generic drugs that recently were approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

The generic drug maker said that it has shipped diethylpropion tablets in the 25-mg strength; phentermine hydrochloride capsules in the 37.5-mg strength and loxapine capsules in 5-mg, 10-mg, 25-mg and 50-mg strengths.
