Mylan tamoxifen
Executive Summary
30-month stay of ANDA approval for Mylan generic version of Zeneca's Nolvadex ends July 10, Barr says in petition filed with FDA.

Barr markets an "authorized" generic version of tamoxifen sourced from Zeneca under a patent suit settlement. The firm's argument is based on FDA's recent elimination of the "successful defense" requirement for generic exclusivity ("The Pink Sheet" June 29, p. 26)
