<<The FDA move wasn't so hard to predict.>>

Two points:

1) We knew that the Paxene application was a NDA and that the FDA panel was not satisfied with the information Ivax provided. Ivax had to prove that Paxene was a different drug and a Better drug. Why didn't the FDA ask for more information? Can Ivax file an amendment with new information?

2) Today must have been a buy-on-the-bad-news day. The selling in NPRO seems completely overdone. At about $30 million in capitalization it would be cheaper for Ivax to buy them out than pay any royalties on the international sales. Everybody knew that Paxene was doomed. This was foolish panic selling.
