Cal, it looks like Dimethaid - and Pennsaid - are getting some favourable attention. About time, too!

Pennsaid goes off-patent in Canada this year. Possible outcomes:

A - Price no longer controlled by PMRB. Price drop, and re-evaluation by formularies? Or, will they finally accept the argument that Pennsaid avoids cost of pills, without data, and without a price drop?

Changing the price in Canada means changing it everywhere. There are linkages, and "baskets" of reference prices.

B - At some point in the future, should we look for a reformulation and new patent on Pennsaid? Possibly.

C - When WF10 returns to the stage, possibly a Euro trial. At the same time (posted last year) - Dimethaid seeks status as a Euro domestic supplier (facilities in Wanzleben, trials in Europe), and applies for Pennsaid approval in Germany and France.

Thus, Dimethaid gets around the Franco-German trade barriers to products for which they have domestic equivalents.

Could this happen? I think it could.

We ain't dead yet.
