I do my DD because this is the "Internet." Unless DJ yanked it, I cannot find it so I cannot confirm it. All I can find is the article below plus the link. NO where does it mention a March date launch date. Also a search on author "Paul Haavardsrud" doesn't yield any such article. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

(T.DMX) has received final marketing approval from the U.K. Medicines Control Agency for its PENNSAID Lotion, which is used to treat osteoarthritis. In a news release, Dimethaid said it will immediately seek approvals from other European Union countries. Under the Mutual Recognition procedure prevailing in the EU, the U.K. will act as agent for other EU member states, who can recognize this approval and issue their own authorizations. Member countries include Germany, France and Italy, three of the largest pharmaceutical markets in the world, it noted. The company said this first approval of PENNSAID in an important market "is a significant milestone for Dimethaid," noting there are about 7 million osteoarthritis sufferers in the U.K. Osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease, is characterized by the breakdown of cartilage that normally cushions and protects joints from impact. As the cartilage erodes, sufferers experience considerable pain and loss of function. Dimethaid said it expects the commercial launch of PENNSAID "to be an important source of revenue for Dimethaid in 2001 and beyond." It didn't provide a revenue projection. Dimethaid is a pharmaceutical company. Company Web Site: dimethaid.com -Carolyn M.
