FDA approves generic Taxol
Neil Flanzraich, vice chairman and president of IVAX, said "Anyone who has followed IVAX' efforts to bring its generic version of Taxol to market in the United States knows IVAX has had to overcome a succession of disruptive and delaying tactics. We strongly believe the system must be changed to eliminate opportunities for abuse by those seeking to prevent or delay generic competition, and we will say more about that in the future. For the moment, we are pleased that this important victory will benefit the thousands of American women suffering from breast and ovarian cancer."
IVAX Corp., headquartered in Miami, is a holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the research, development, manufacturing, and marketing of branded and generic pharmaceuticals and veterinary and diagnostic products in the U.S. and international markets.
