Another PR from the company with a late to the party me to product. If I remember right. The last downdraft this company had was follow prior to PR releases last year. After the downdraft, it was followed by insider buying. We will see if this continues this time around. IMO the company is on much stronger footing this time around. I am also speculating Farber will eventually sell his stake to a possible Indian partner. This happened to Caraco many years ago, witch also trades on the AMEX. Both are small generic players. Up until Dec look how well these companies tracked. finance.yahoo.com Lannett to Commence Marketing Meloxicam for Arthritis Thursday January 11, 8:15 am ET PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lannett Company, Inc. (AMEX:LCI - News), a manufacturer of generic pharmaceuticals, announced today that it will shortly commence distributing Meloxicam, the generic equivalent of Boehringer Ingelheim's Mobic®. Sales of Meloxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the relief of the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, were approximately $1.4 billion for the twelve months ended November 2006, according to Wolters Kluwer. Meloxicam will be supplied to Lannett by Unichem Laboratories, Inc., an India-based company with which Lannett formed a strategic alliance in 2004. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved Unichem's Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for Meloxicam. "Over the last several years, we have entered into a number of strategic alliances to augment our internal drug development program and expand the company's product offering," said Arthur Bedrosian, president and chief executive officer of Lannett Company. "While other generic manufacturers received their approvals for Meloxicam before Unichem, thus limiting its potential financial contribution to Lannett, we are pleased that our alliance with Unichem has produced its first tangible result and are hopeful of more to come." About Lannett Company: Lannett Company, founded in 1942, develops, manufactures, packages, markets and distributes generic pharmaceutical products for a wide range of indications.
