They could abandon Claritin, let Clarinex go OTC and finally keep Soltara as their prescription drug

I'd be very surprised indeed if this were to happen. SGP isn't going to give up the 20+% of the antihistamine market held by Clarinex in exchange for a not-yet-approved drug. Also, the FTC would need quite a bit of convincing, which would cause unacceptable delay.

I continue to believe that if SGP tried to buy SEPR at this stage they would have to immediately jettison Soltara. Doesn't mean it couldn't happen, but it is one strike against that particular deal.

Personally I wouldn't be happy if SEPR were taken out just now. Of course I would have been a lot less happy if someone had made a play when the stock was in the low single digits. But trying to buy the company at that point would have been too smart for your average pharma. <g>

My guess is that today was just a rumor by someone trying to squeeze a short or two.
