> many thanks for the sent site ; it is very comprehensive ; it is also true that commercially talking the article has been written by a German scientist ;Plexxo (Desitin) is manufactured in Hamburg, so lets hope that he is "fair"
> P.S. what are you meaning by saying:... "In the US, Teva has an exclusive 180 days at the moment".. ?

When a patent expires -- all arcane and complex legal laws, 17 years typically in the US, but there are challenges, and sometimes a company comes out with "XR" or "CR", etc....

anyhow long story short, generic drug companies submit what are called NDAs and ANDAs (new drug, amended new drug applications -- which also have to be submitted by new drugs as well) and usually through the system one company ends up with the first pick.

And that usually means a 180 day distribution through pharmacies before other companies can compete generically. I'm not a legal expert so that's just a layman's response I guess.
