TOPROL AND AG UP 320% TO $298M IN LATEST 3 MONTHS
US sales of the Toprol-XL product range, which includes sales of the authorised generic, increased by 320
percent in the second quarter to $298 million. Total prescriptions for the franchise more than doubled. Pipeline
filling of the authorised generic product following a return to full supply and price changes accounted for the
balance of the sales growth. The two generic competitor products remain off the US market, and it remains
difficult to ascertain when or if these products will return to the market or when potential new entrants may be
approved.
• Toprol-XL franchise sales in the US in the first half were up 251 percent to $474 million.
