2013 Statistics for Global Prescription Medications: CNS Therapeutics Maintain a Leading Position among Small Molecule Therapeutics

http://pubs.acs.org/....1021/cn500063v (full article, freely available)

With total 2013 annual sales of $23 Billion, it's easy to see why Lilly is freaked out about the $9 Billion loss on the MDL that was just entered. (See article I posted earlier this evening.) That's almost 1/2 of their annual total sales for last year.

Granted, that amount will likely be reduced somewhat by further legal proceedings, and will be apportioned with the co-defendant Takeda, but it's still going to be a huge kick in the butt. :D

Interesting. There are some real nasty drugs on that first list. I am sure that noe Cymbalta has generic composition than Eli Lilley will rank a lot lower when this year's numbers come out.

Well, I'm checking on what Lilly's got "up their product sleeve" to throw at us next ... apparently, they think they've got another "blockbuster" or two .... I'll post as soon as I track down some info....
