Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. said Tuesday it has settled a patent lawsuit brought by Pfizer Inc. over a drug for treating seizures and pain caused by shingles.

Financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Pfizer claimed generic versions of Neurontin sold by Teva and subsidiary Ivax Pharmaceuticals violated its patent.
