Harold,

You are right that there might be some sales left in the product if Elan will pursue further sales of Naprelan.

But I don't believe that Elan will put any efforts into selling this product any more against generic competition. Especially as the sales volume even before the approval was less than what Elan has said was of interest to them. They have been busy out-licensing drugs with low sales volumes over the last year and a half. Now, there will most probably not be much left to milk from this particular cow.

The approval doesn't seem to have come completely unexpected, as Elan took a write-down in the second quarter on IP related to Naprelan.
