Abstract
Protect brand revenues with a multi-tiered counter-generics strategy:
Generic drugs now account for more than 60% of all prescriptions filled in the
US, and more than $60 billion worth of drugs face US patent expiration by 2011.
Use this report to build a counter-generics strategy that includes long-term,
R&D-based lifecycle planning (such as new formulations and next-generation
drugs) as well as frontline tactics (such as litigation and counter-promotion)
-- and understand how companies launch authorized generics and attempt OTC
switches
