They probably put an extra layer of film coating on the tabs, gave it a fancy name - "geomatrix delivery system" or something equally impressive to those not in the know, changed the dosages by a couple of milligrams and there you have it...an extra gazillion dollars and some pretty fat paychecks for execs. They timed it PERFECTLY. Just before the generic launch, they took the old Sular off the mkt so pt's needed to get a new rx BEFORE the generic was avail. Once the generic was avail (Mylan makes it), it was more or less useless...everyone had an rx at the new dosages.<br /><br />Lipitor HD will come out in 10,001 µg, 20,001 µg, 40,001 µg and 80,001 µg and whammo...no interchange. <br /><br />I don't get it. How do these people SLEEP at night knowing that they are hosing people (some whom can least afford it) beyond belief? It makes me sad...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-53051684786005582102010-08-03T14:11:31.970-04:002010-08-03T14:11:31.970-04:00They already came out with Asacol HD earlier this ...They already came out with Asacol HD earlier this year too...I was like wtf?
