CNBC-TV18’s Ekta Batra reported that Ranbaxy may get approval for generic Lipitor from Health Canada today. In case of a positive response, Ranbaxy can launch its generic Lipitor this week.

Ranbaxy is likely to benefit from Lipitor generic, its biggest opportunity, in different markets and they are expected to launch Lipitor generic in the United States in November 2011.

From Moneycontrol.com:

For Canada, the Lipitor patent expires on July 19. Apotex, Teva, and Cobalt have already received approval for launching generic Lipitor in Canada. Ranbaxy is expected to be next in line to receive this approval and therefore launch.

Lipitor has sales of USD 1.1 billion in Canada. So, it is a huge drug in terms of market size.

In 2008, Pfizer entered into licence agreement with Ranbaxy to sell generic Lipitor in seven countries including Canada on varying dates. We do not have details on what these dates were or what sort of opportunity was there. Ranbaxy is very tight-lipped about the Lipitor opportunity. It did not reveal details in the analysts conference call held this quarter.

It is worth noting here that Apotex, Teva, and Cobalt have already received approval to launch generic Lipitor in Canada and Ranbaxy is expected to be next in line.

As a people, we have become obsessed with Health.  There is something fundamentally, radically unhealthy about all this.  We do not seem to be seeking more exuberance in living as much as staving off failure, putting off dying.  We have lost all confidence in the human body. – Lewis Thomas

The power of love to change bodies is legendary, built into folklore, common sense, and everyday experience.  Love moves the flesh, it pushes matter around…. Throughout history, “tender loving care” has uniformly been recognized as a valuable element in healing. – Larry Dossey

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. – World Health Organization

Men that look no further than their outsides, think health an appurtenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabric hangs, do wonder that we are not always so; and considering the thousand doors that lead to death, do thank my God that we can die but once. – Thomas Browne

Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit.  When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open. - B.K.S. Iyengar

Health is a large word.  It embraces not the body only, but the mind and spirit as well;… and not today’s pain or pleasure alone, but the whole being and outlook of a man. – James H. West

Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.  Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place. – Susan Sontag

Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone; it must husband its resources to live.  But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men’s necessities. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Doctors are always working to preserve our health and cooks to destroy it, but the latter are the more often successful. – Denis Diderot

If you do everything you should do, and do not do anything you should not do, you will, according to the best available statistics, live exactly eighteen hours longer than you would otherwise. – Logain Clendening
