The case between Milan Pharmaceuticals and the St. Regis tribe relates to the patents that the tribe received from Allergan for its Restasis eye drops and the Tribe’s motion to dismiss the proceedings of the IPR system based on its sovereign immunity.

(the penalty) to other businesses uniformly would be as ludicrous as having applied it in the first place.” State and local taxes paid in cash do not incur a penalty so it makes sense that employment taxes should not either, particularly when an industry is providing work for citizens. The IRS rules are clearly arbitrary and the result of typical normal process but the cannabis economy presents unique

What are generics drugs? Well, in the pharmaceutical world generics have a popularity of being the cheaper version of brand named drugs. Generic drugs are medications that provide the consumer with the same equivalent quality of care as that of brand name drugs, at a much lower price. These drugs not only make medicine affordable but also have a low cost of production. Unlike the producer of the original brand name drug, the generic drug producer does not have to undergo comprehensive research, sacrifice
Large pharmaceutical industries are making large profits on medications. Having such a high cost for medication prevents patients from receiving the care that they need. These companies are overcharging for medications that are essential to maintaining the health of patients. This may result in patients resorting to desperate measure such as stealing, crime, and other illegal acts. The pharmaceutical industry may require a different set of moral standard because in a way these laws are preventing
In 2007, pharmaceutical company Mylan acquired Merck and their multibillion dollar generics business under CEO Robert Coury. Coury immediately appointed one of his top executives, Heather Bresch, to integrate the new products into the company’s pipeline. Bresch became Mylan’s COO later that year and decided to focus primarily on the Epipen, a spring-loaded syringe device created to deliver an exact dose of epinephrine, a severe allergy life-saving drug which immediately reverses life-threatening
Threat of new entrants is relatively high. Companies forming alliances are potential rivals. Even if earlier such company was not considered to be a threat, after merging with some research and development company or forming alliance with another pharmaceutical company it would become a rival to Eli Lilly. The threat is however weakened by significant research and development costs necessary to successfully enter the business. Eli Lilly’s focus on a relatively narrow market of sedatives and antidepressants

This decision will benefit pharmaceutical companies and CROs since it allows them to use placebo control even when a standard treatment is available [10 & 11].

facilities deterioration. No equipment should, No equipment should reach the breaking point [1]. Preventive maintenance is the base of the entire maintenance strategy for every pharmaceutical industry. One of the frequent problems that PM programs may confront is to maintain equally every equipment or parts involved in the pharmaceutical manufacturing. A safer path is to apply a risk-based approach that separates each equipment or parts of equipment in terms of their direct contact with product and possible
Designing a Global Strategy for Pharmaceutical Industry Introduction The pharmaceutical industry develops, produces, and markets drugs or pharmaceuticals compounds for medical purpose. Pharmaceutical companies produce generic, brand medications and medical devices. The industry is subject to a complex regulatory environment regarding the patenting, testing and ensuring safety and efficacy and marketing of drugs. As per WHO "The 10 largest drugs companies control over one-third of this market, several
years, the U.S. pharmaceutical industry R&D spending has increased at a rapid rate. Costs have been relatively stable in the preclinical phase, but have risen dramatically in the clinical phase both in terms of direct costs incurred and in time required to complete the trials.2 DiMasi reasoning for the increase in costs is from the focused development for chronic and degenerative conditions that require more costly studies for efficacy and larger clinical trial sizes.2 Some pharmaceutical companies found
a large scale of output” as it is able to spread over the fixed costs over a large volume of quantity (Wickramasekera, Cronk & Hill 2013 p90). “First-mover advantages are the economic and strategic advantages that accrue to early entrants into an industry and the ability to capture scale economies ahead of later entrants” (Wickramasekera, Cronk & Hill 2013 p91). The new trade theory however, is not free from criticism. Although the theory has achieved great success academically, there is little to

Epstein focuses on the question of how knowledge is produced through complex interactions among government agencies, pharmaceutical companies, scientists, medical people, and “treatment activists” to discover how knowledge about AIDS emerges out of what he calls "credibility struggles." Epstein follows the “principle of symmetry”, a methodology for analyzing both mainstream
Johnson & Johnson researches, develops, manufactures, and sells products in health care.

level. Merck created Vioxx which was designed to treat osteoarthritis and in May 1999, the FDA approved Vioxx making it available with a medical prescription (Snigdha., 2007). During this period they were plenty of changes in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharmaceutical companies had to paid fees to the FDA to review their drug. As a result the FDA was able to shorten the review time by almost one half, but the amount of drugs recalled increase 4 times
answer to this question is of course variable depending on many factors, such as drug type, material and use. However, a recent example may be used to understand the flexibility that these pharmaceutical companies truly possess. A drug called Pyrimethamine was released in 1953 by Burroughs Wellcome, a pharmaceutical company based in London. This drug was originally intended to fight malaria, after the microorganisms that cause the disease developed resistance to earlier treatments. In current times

BCS is known as a drug product regulation tool for scale-up and post-approval challenges in worldwide . The objective of the BCS is to provide a regulatory tool to predict in vivo performance of drug products by conducting in vitro dissolution tests or measurements of permeability and solubility.
