FDA Denies OTC Singular

Anonymous

Guest
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal health advisers have voted against a Merck proposal to sell its prescription respiratory pill Singulair as an over-the-counter allergy medication.
 




Bad timing for the valuations on the legacy portfolio and consumer. I'm sure it was priced in for the consumer deal and the fact that it was a best seller probably really pumped those numbers up.

Where's that arrogant prick from finance to provide some actual useful information? Cruising in the bimmer or planning his next cushy vacation?
 




Won't matter for the Bayer deal, but does illustrate the incompetence of MCC "leaders." They are marketeers first and for most, and when they go in front of scientists they got destroyed. The vote wasn't even close.

Bye bye Bayer. The world's most conservative corporate entity will either walk away from this OTC deal or devalue the bid to a point where Merck will look elsewhere.
 




Still no update from our resident Finance superstar? They're so great in finance I'm sure the MCC valuation had this scenario baked in. I see no more press leaks from 'sources' over THIS weekend.
 








This is such crap Singular is the only thing that works on my allergies

This is the worry about going OTC. You can still get the drug by prescription.

Another point of contention was whether Singulair's serious, albeit rare, side effects like agitation, aggression, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and hallucinations could be problematic for consumers not under the supervision of a doctor—especially for patients who might use the drug off-label for asthma.

FDA panelists also cited concerns that, if approved, the drug would carry an adult-only label but may be picked up by teenagers and adolescents. “Whether the complexities of managing allergic rhinitis in the face of multiple variable treatment options can be communicated and understood by the OTC consumer will be an important issue for discussion.”

Idiot,
It was a calculated risk. I really don’t have time to celebrate the successes or grieve the failures. I would not call it a mistake. Maybe if you work hard, scratch and claw, you will understand what I am writing. Your little brain will understand the burden placed on people here. I don’t go to sources. I am the source. Sorry if you’re too stupid to figure that out. I don’t pay attention to any press. Two things I will never search: Merck and my name. I don’t think I would be happy with the results from either search. For all I know there is a mynamesucks.com I am intrigued by this halo thing. I have little information. I will have a few of my many minions brief me. At least they will be good for something then. They have been following this place for years. I assume he’s just a run of the mill idiot like the rest of you. I’m sure it’s not hard to outsmart you people. I am only here because I don’t like people spreading fear that has no merit associated with it.

If you have minions reporting to you that makes you a manager which, by definition, makes you the dumbass. Like nearly most other Merck employee in your position you are never as smart you think you are and believe you have arrived at your professional station because of your skills. Keep believing it though because it makes everybody else the source of all problems and in traditional fashion of middle management incapable of doing anything to improve this company.

Let's make a deal. If you get halo's name I will write everyday for 6 months how great you are. I know many people who would do the same.

Idiot,
First a grammar lesson. Everyday means routine. Every day means each day. I asked around. You may never get this guy. He is still an idiot but smarter than most idiots. He is seasoned, manipulative, and calculating. I have seen men like him before. Marriages are hard work at times. It’s like a rollercoaster. It happens in every relationship. Even for someone like me. I know that’s hard to believe. Just because a relationship goes down does not mean it doesn’t goes back up. Most cases they do. People like him swoop in on the down points when people are the most exposed. Everything is scripted and they know how to press the right buttons. It actually happened to me here a few times. Lucky they were idiots and I would rather not communicate with them. This is going back to the Schering Plough days and I am sure it’s continuing to happen. He also has no skin in the game. He does not have a ring or kids. The others do. If they give him up it would cause a domino effect of epic proportions. Even if there is a fallout between the two it won’t matter much. There is no way that any person would screw another “friends” to get back at him. Men do that, women don’t. Females have a horrible business sense and leadership skills but that’s a different subject. They do stick together.

Maybe if he has a big mouth he will start talking. Even though someone would have something already. I figure he is in the 35-45 range by now. Getting old and not as desirable. Also how many husbands at Merck have a wife in QA? That number is negligible at best. If so I would be concerned. I know I am better than anyone in any way, shape or form but all bets are off during the low points in a relationship. People are fooled easily and don’t use common sense. As a husband I can’t come up with words that would describe this subhuman piece a XXXXX.

One last thing. Last time a checked I’m a tiny winey bit higher than a manager. I am being sarcastic for all the idiots. I earned that right.

I also don’t need your praises. I already know how great I am. People remind me of that daily. You act like I have an ego.
 




idiots,
One last thing. What the heck is common care math. I have a degree in accounting, CPA, and MBA. Why would it take 8 steps using common care math to subtract 435-359 when it used to take 3. How to you idiots handle this? It seems like they don't want idiots to teach their kids.
 








common care math??

CARE????

Or did you mean "core"?
Made the mistake twice - Idiot!

Is was not a mistake. It's called Common Core math to most people. Depending on your culture and race it can also be common care math. I would not expect you to understand that. Hence why you're an idiot. What I do for you people.

I don't make mistakes. Good try.

I agree. Who cares. My wife does not work in QA. Thank god. :)
