...

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) reported earnings of 89 cents in the third quarter of 2009, up 16% from the year-ago period and a cent above the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Strong sales of Copaxone and in the respiratory business helped drive earnings in the reported quarter. Net sales increased 25% to $3.55 billion, with the Barr acquisition contributing to sales across different geographical segments. The strengthening U.S. dollar adversely impacted net sales by $160 million or 6%. Revenue performance across key business segments was mixed. While the Pharmaceuticals Sales segment posted growth of 27% with revenues coming in at $3.4 billion, the active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) segment reported an 8% decline in growth with sales coming in at $136 million. Pharmaceutical segment sales were driven by strong performances in the North American, European and International segments. The launch of generic versions of Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo ...

Recently, Mylan (MYL) announced the settlement of its dispute with Pfizer (PFE) related to the patent of antifungal drug Vfend (voriconazole). Now Mylan can launch an authorized generic version of the drug in two dosage forms of 50 mg and 200 mg tablets in early 2011. Mylan’s subsidiary, Matrix Laboratories, has Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the generic version of the drug. Being the first company to submit an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA), Matrix expects to be eligible to receive 180 days of marketing exclusivity for the drug. However, the agreement does not include liquid or intravenous versions of Vfend. The agreement has yet to be approved by the US Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. Vfend recorded sales of $164 million in the 12 months ended June 30. Mylan received quite a few approvals in the past few ...

Mylan’s Portfolio Strengthens

We are pleased to hear that Mylan (MYL) has begun to market the generic version of BenzaClin (1% Clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel) for acne treatment, which was originally manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis (SNY). The drug has been developed under an agreement between its subsidiary,

We are pleased to hear that Mylan (MYL) has begun to market the generic version of BenzaClin (1% Clindamycin and 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel) for acne treatment, which was originally manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis (SNY). The drug has been developed under an agreement between its subsidiary, Mylan Pharmaceuticals and Dow Pharmaceutical Sciences, a subsidiary of Valeant Pharmaceuticals International.

Earlier this month, Dow received the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the generic drug. Although the approval is good news for the company, we do not expect it to contribute significantly to the top line since BenzaClin had total U.S. sales of about $221 million for the 12 months ending June 30 (as per IMS data).

This is the third approval for Mylan in the month of August. A few days back, Mylan’s subsidiary Matrix Laboratories received tentative approval from the FDA under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief

...

Yesterday, Mylan Inc. (MYL) announced that its Indian subsidiary, Matrix Laboratories, received tentative approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) for its generic version of a fixed-dose combination of Efavirenz, Emtricitabine, Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate tablets in 600 mg/200mg/300 mg dosage strengths.

The decision is in response to an Abbreviated New Drug Application filed by the Indian subsidiary. The tentative approval under PEPFAR is indicative of the fact that the product satisfies all the manufacturing quality, safety and efficacy standards laid down by the agency.

The Efavirenz, Emtricitabine and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate combination is the generic version of Gilead Sciences’ (GILD) Atripla tablets used for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in adults. It combines three anti-AIDS medicines into a single, daily dose for either first- or second-line treatment and is one of the best-selling AIDS products in

...

A subsidiary of Mylan Inc. (MYL) recently received approval for marketing Sumatriptan Succinate Tablets from the US FDA. This generic version of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Imitrex is meant for the treatment of migraine and headache. The drug had recorded total US sales of about $934 million in the 12 months ended June 30. But Mylan is a late entrant in this segment as Dr Reddy’s Laboratories (RDY) became the first to launch a generic version of the drug last November.

Mylan is now the third-largest generic company in the world after the acquisition of Merck Generics and Matrix Labs. We expect the Merck Generics acquisition to contribute significantly to Mylan’s long-term growth and the help the company expand its footprints in non-U.S. markets.

At present, the company has 120 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) that are awaiting FDA approval, targeting approximately $85.6 billion in branded sales. Among
