CEO Tim Barberich's brief CNBC appearance this morning had no major news for those who follow the company, but a few details were new, at least to me:

(1) DCL, the ICE for Schering's Claritin, is already in Phase III, with FDA approval expected in about 18 months, or no more than 2 years. (At the May 27 annual meeting he had said that Schering was making an all-out effort to get DCL on the market long before generic competition would arise at Claritin's patent expiration in 2002, spending $200 million this year alone, etc.; it's good news that they're making fast progress.)

(2) Levalbuterol (Xopenex) final FDA approval expected within the month.

(3) Allegra sales will be about $800 million this year (compared to 1997 sales of, I believe, about $600MM).

(4) SEPR now has seven of its ICE's in clinical trials, three of them in Phase III.
