>>Travis County District Judge Jeanne Meurer has blocked implementation of a Board of Pharmacy rule that would have limited generic substitution in Texas. The decision is a blow to the efforts of DuPont Pharmaceuticals to preserve its Texas monopoly on Coumadin(r) anticoagulant.

>>Since January of 1997, DuPont Merck has been engaged in a state-by-state effort to block competition for their Coumadin product, which has been off patent since 1962. DuPont has increased the price of its Coumadin product more than 400% in the past decade.<<
