Executive Summary
Planned launches of generic Claritin-D, Mucinex and Prevacid 24HR are expected to help Perrigo reach 12% to 14% consumer health care growth in fiscal 2012. Opportunities to gain from J&J and Novartis OTC recalls likely are minimal going forward, the private labeler says on its Q2 earnings call.
