| Some BIG PHARMA Facts. . . | | 2008-05-29 11:19:34 | | With dems (notably Obama) constantly declaring war on every major business that make our lives better I think it's appropriate to debunk some of dems attacks on our pharmaceutical industry:
Time to develop and market a new drug: 10-15 years
Average Cost to develop a new drug (2006): $1.318 billion
Total R&D spending on drugs in 2007: $58.8 billion
Generic share of market in 2007:...

| | Big Pharma on rebound after tough week | | 2008-02-19 04:24:00 | | shares gained a point to rest at $40.01. Although Wyeth posted higher fourth-quarter earnings and sales, the company also said that 2008 revenue will be flat due to sooner-than-expected generic competition for two of its best-selling products, Effexor and Protonix.

| | Antidepressants and Big Pharma | | 2008-01-22 19:36:00 | | Big Pharma is at it again! Do you or a family member take a doctor prescribed antidepressant? We are talking about Zoloft, Serzone, Wellbutrin, Paxil, Effexor, Celexa, Lexapro, and Prozac among others. It appears the pharmaceutical industry has been misleading not only consumers but also the doctors who prescribe these drugs!The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded that the effectiveness of these popular antidepressants has been exaggerated by the selective publication of favorable test data,

| | Will Biotech has more revenue coming in than Big Pharma? | | 2007-06-07 13:45:00 | | Genomics and Proteomics. De verandering in de genexpressie van cellen of weefsels geeft aan welke biologische routes (in)actief worden. Dit leidt tot een beter begrip over het ontstaan van ziektes of toxicologische effecten. Het geeft mogelijkheden tot preventie, behandeling of interventie. Daarnaast is het van belang aanvullende technologieen zoals proteomics breed op te zetten. Proteomics zal een grote rol gaan spelen bij bevolkingsonderzoeken en in screenings-programma's van micro-organismen. Genomics and Proteomics.De financiële resultaten van de biotechnologiebedrijven zijn solide. Medicijnen van biotechnologiebedrijven worden op dit moment vaker goedgekeurd dan die uit de traditionele farmaceutische sector. Daarbij komt nog dat de omzet van beursgenoteerde biotechbedrijven een forse stijging heeft laten zien. Nederland telt 82 biotechondernemingen, zoals Octoplus, Pharming (Hereditary angioedema) en Crucell nam onder meer het Zwitserse Berna Biotech over. Pharma companies are v... | | By: The Health Archive | | |

| Biotech and Big Pharma | | 2007-01-14 19:00:00 | | De bouwstenen van het leven, daar draait genomics om. Mens, Plant en Dier zijn allemaal opgebouwd volgens een plan. Dit bouwplan bestaat uit genetische informatie. Om die kennis te exploiteren en toegankelijk te maken voor wetenschap en bedrijfsleven is het Nationale Regieorgaan Genomics in het leven geroepen.deCode Genetics Inc. has a number of diagnostic tests coming on line and a set of compounds for the prevention of heart attack, stroke and arterial disease. They found genes associated with certain pathologies and then found the pathways these genes were in, and noticed that these genes were over-expressed and that the pathways were over-active. They then developed compounds to block those pathways. It sounds very plausible, and it may work. If it does, it is probably the first real drug development based on genomics. They claim to have a compound that has properties similar to aspirin and Plavix but does not cause bleeding.Their aim is to develop a novel anti-platelet compound th... | | By: The Health Archive | | |
