E-DRUG: E-DRUG: Patent expiry dates?
------------------------------------

You should be able to find the list of some drugs going off patent by 2005
from Orange Book at < http://www.fda.gov/cder/orange/19bookpub.pdf> for US
and the Canadian Patent Register (for Canada) at
<http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpb-dgps/therapeut/htmleng/patents.html>.

Hope the above will help.

The FDA publishes an Orange Book which contains all the information about
Drugs registered in US. http://www.fda.gov/cder/ob/ The book has an annex
which lists patent and exclusivity information. This is an Adobe Acrobat
file and is available at http://www.fda.gov/cder/orange/19bookpub.pdf

This is useful information for the US and for US registered companies.

[Thanks, Teka and Richard! It shows that a network of 1300 E-druggers is
quite powerful! WB]
