Executive Summary
The firm prepares to be market-ready when Schering-Plough's exclusivity expires Oct. 6 for its OTC laxative MiraLAX. The expiry brings the "market formation date" and Perrigo expects "to be there," said Art Shannon, VP of investor relations and communications. Without exclusivity for the innovator, other firms can ask FDA to approve abbreviated new drug applications for equivalent products. Firms do not receive ANDA approval for the product until closer to Oct. 6, Shannon explained
