Monday, May 6, 1:36 PM Merck (MRK -1.3%) gets no love today from the FDA's approval of Liptruxet late Friday, as the stock is likely dragged down with the rest of the big pharma names on the back of a CNBC report that criticizes their earnings so far. The article points to the fact that pharmaceutical companies have seen a 4.7% contraction in earnings, and a 3.2% drop in revenue this quarter. Why?

Tuesday, April 2, 3:22 AM A district court has ruled that a patent protecting AstraZeneca's (AZN) billion-dollar Pulmicort Repsules asthma treatment is invalid, opening the way for Actavis (ACT) to launch a generic version. The ruling won't affect AstraZeneca's 2013 revenue guidance, but it will hurt royalties that the company receives from Teva's (TEVA) version of Pulmicort. It's a further blow for AstraZeneca as it restructures amidst a patent cliff. (PR) Comment! [Healthcare, Top Stories]
