Pulled which one? Colchicine? I doubt it, it has been out since the 1800s and I think its safety and efficacy goes without saying. One company decided to do a study on colchicine and take it to the FDA - all these years later - then gets exclusivity on a drug that has been generic for >100 years? That's BS and you know it. Go read the articles and letters to the editor, then tell me you feel the same.
Believe me, I am a pharma cheerleader, I don't hate the industry. I do hate what was done with the Colcrys case. URL should never been allowed to sue to take all of the generic off of the market. You want to submit it, brand it, and sell it? Go ahead, but you shouldn't be able to take a med that has been out for >100 years and stop the generic manufacture. The FDA is stupid for letting this go through. Like I said, someone needed the balls to stand up and say no.
Now, SPN, if you're talking about Makena, that case is a little different, in that KV lied regarding the FDA taking action on the compounded meds. They did not sue to stop the generic compounded version.
